<\/p>\n

Americans gave an estimated $78.8 billion to colleges and universities in fiscal year 2025, a 4% year-over-year increase that barely kept up with inflation, according to\u00a0survey findings<\/a>\u00a0released Tuesday from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.<\/p>\n

\n

But that figure doesn\u2019t fully illustrate where the money is actually going or which schools have historically been left out. Between 2015 and 2019, the average Ivy League school received 178 times as much philanthropic funding as the average HBCU, according to a study by\u00a0Candid<\/a>. Total Ivy League gifts over that period topped $5.5 billion, while HBCUs collectively took in just $303 million.<\/p>\n

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has stepped in to close that gap, especially as government funding for historically Black colleges and universities has been\u00a0yanked by the Trump administration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the past five years, Scott has donated\u00a0more than $1.2 billion to HBCUs<\/a>, making her one of the most significant donors in that category. (In all, Scott has donated well over $26 billion to thousands of organizations.) In 2025 alone, she gave\u00a0more than $700 million<\/a>\u00a0to more than a dozen\u00a0HBCUs and affiliated organizations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scott has also expanded her higher ed giving to include\u00a0community colleges<\/a>, Hispanic-serving institutions, and tribal colleges, many of which had never received a gift anywhere close to this size.<\/p>\n

Scott\u2019s largest donations to HBCUs<\/h2>\n

Many of the donations Scott has made to higher ed institutions are historic. Howard University, the alma mater of former Vice President Kamala Harris, Thurgood Marshall, and Toni Morrison,\u00a0received $80 million<\/a>\u00a0in November 2025\u2014one of the largest single donations in the school\u2019s history, with $17 million earmarked for Howard\u2019s College of Medicine.<\/p>\n

This gift came at an especially critical time for Howard. As of Oct. 1, 2025, new grant awards from the Department of Education have been halted because nearly 95% of non-student aid staff were furloughed, leaving only essential staff to keep working.<\/p>\n

That left key programs like the HBCU Capital Financing Program, which offers renovation and construction-loan subsidies, in limbo, even as the Education Department\u00a0announced in September 2025 a $495 million increase<\/a>\u00a0for HBCUs and tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs) for FY 2025. But experts say this action is hard to reconcile with the Trump administration\u2019s\u00a0desire to dissolve the DOE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf [the Trump administration] actually \u2026 cared about HBCUs and tribal colleges, then you would not see such a big attack on other sectors of higher education,\u201d Mike Hoa Nguyen, an associate professor of education at UCLA,\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0The American Prospect<\/em> in October 2025.<\/p>\n

Other major gifts to HBCUs from Scott include a $63 million donation to Morgan State University (the largest gift in its history); Prairie View A&M also received $63 million, and Bowie State, Norfolk State, Virginia State, and Winston-Salem State each landed $50 million. In early April, Elizabeth City State University celebrated a $42 million gift on its Founders Day. That donation pushed Scott\u2019s cumulative HBCU total past the billion-dollar mark.<\/p>\n

Scott also gave $70 million to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) in 2025, aimed at strengthening pooled endowments for private HBCUs. She also gave\u00a0$70 million<\/a>\u00a0to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, which represents public HBCUs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMacKenzie Scott is rewriting the book on individual philanthropy, and she\u2019s making a huge difference,\u201d UNCF president and CEO Dr. Michael Lomax\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in a PBS NewsHour interview following the UNCF gift.<\/p>\n

Why Scott\u2019s gifts come at the right time<\/h2>\n

The Trump administration\u2019s fiscal year 2026 budget proposal calls for a\u00a014.4% reduction<\/a>\u00a0in Title III funding, which is the federal program that helps HBCUs, tribal colleges, and other under-resourced institutions improve their academic programs, management, and financial stability. This brings the budget down to roughly $668 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe budget continues the illegal dismantling of the Department of Education, with no suggestion on how this downsized Department will be able to fulfill its statutory duties,\u201d Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), said in a\u00a0statement<\/a>. \u201c[By] eliminating programs that provide direct support services for disadvantaged students that promote college access, President Trump\u2019s budget proposal does nothing to deliver for students.\u201d<\/p>\n

The White House also\u00a0proposed cutting $64 million from Howard University<\/a>\u2018s direct federal allocation, just days after the president told HBCU leaders during a NewsNation town hall they had nothing to worry about. The Trump administration responded that the reduction was necessary to \u201cto more sustainably support the Nation\u2019s only federally-chartered Historically Black College and University (HBCU).\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Department of Education\u00a0redirected approximately $495 million<\/a>\u00a0in one-time discretionary funds to HBCUs and tribal colleges in September 2025, that money came at the expense of $350 million in grants redirected from Hispanic-serving institutions and other minority-serving institutions\u2014programs the department\u00a0called<\/a>\u00a0\u201cineffective and discriminatory.\u201d The proposed budget would also slash the maximum\u00a0Pell Grant by $1,685<\/a>\u00a0and eliminate Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants entirely.<\/p>\n

For schools that educate overwhelmingly low-income, first-generation students, the combination of cuts represents what higher ed researcher Terrell Strayhorn\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0Higher Ed Dive in May 2025 is threatening \u201cthe very presence and long-term sustainability of some HBCUs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott\u2019s gifts don\u2019t completely replace federal funding, but they at least offer some breathing room.<\/p>\n

Beyond<\/a> HBCUs: community colleges and tribal schools<\/h2>\n

Scott\u2019s higher education reach extends well beyond HBCUs. In recent months, she has directed tens of millions of dollars to schools that rarely, if ever, make headlines in the philanthropy world.<\/p>\n

Northern Oklahoma College, the state\u2019s oldest public community college, where roughly 80% of students rely on financial aid, received\u00a0$17 million<\/a>\u2014the largest gift in the school\u2019s history. Carl Albert State College in Oklahoma received\u00a0$23 million<\/a>. Robeson Community College in rural North Carolina\u00a0received $24 million<\/a>, and neighboring Bladen Community College got\u00a0$12 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scott also made record-setting gifts to tribal institutions, including\u00a0$22 million<\/a>\u00a0to Turtle Mountain College in North Dakota,\u00a0$9 million<\/a>\u00a0to Bay Mills Community College in Michigan, and\u00a0$5 million<\/a>\u00a0to Little Priest Tribal College in Nebraska, whose president said the money would help build an entirely new $60 million campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment will not only expand our physical footprint, but also empower us to better serve our students, community, and generations to come,\u201d Little Priest President Manoj Patil said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The billionaire philanthropist also directed\u00a0$50 million<\/a>\u00a0each to Lehman College at CUNY and Cal State East Bay, and\u00a0$38 million<\/a>\u00a0to Texas A&M International, Texas A&M University\u2013Kingsville, and UC Merced, all of which are\u00a0<\/span>federally designated Hispanic-serving institutions.<\/p>\n

Scott\u2019s trust-based approach<\/h2>\n

Scott\u2019s gifts to HBCUs and other underserved institutions are especially impactful because she practices trust-based philanthropy and makes unrestricted gifts.<\/p>\n

That means schools can spend the money however they see fit, whether that means expanding scholarships, hiring faculty, fixing buildings, or growing endowments. That flexibility is rare in philanthropy, where major gifts often come loaded with restrictions, reporting requirements, and donor oversight.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer style empowers organizations like ours to determine how best to direct funds quickly and innovatively to address pressing issues,\u201d Noni Ramos, CEO of Housing Trust Silicon Valley, told Fortune in 2024.<\/p>\n

Early evidence suggests Scott\u2019s approach is working. A\u00a02021 analysis<\/a>\u00a0by Rutgers Graduate School of Education of the 23 HBCUs that received Scott\u2019s initial 2020 donations found that the schools Scott selected already had median new-student enrollment more than 300 students higher than peer HBCUs that didn\u2019t receive funding, and retention rates averaging 15 percentage points higher, suggesting Scott targeted institutions with demonstrated momentum.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do this research and deeper diligence not only to identify organizations with high potential for impact, but also to pave the way for unsolicited and unexpected gifts given with full trust and no strings attached,\u201d Scott said, according to the report.<\/p>\n

The higher ed philanthropy system was built to benefit schools that already had the most, and Scott is systematically redirecting her resources toward the ones that don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
