UNCF is one of the nation's largest and most effective supporters of higher education and serves as a leading advocate for college-bound students. Each year, UNCF awards more than 14,000 scholarships totaling more than $62 million. The scholarships support students attending more than 600 US-based colleges and universities, including 37 UNCF-member HBCUs. Through its efforts, UNCF has helped generations of students to get to and through college. We believe a college education plays a vital role in fortifying the pipeline of leaders and professionals who contribute to the advancement of our society. 

Since 1944, UNCF has expanded educational access and opportunity for students attending HBCUs and other mission-driven institutions. UNCF helps students, many of whom are first-generation, to earn degrees that change the economic trajectory of entire families and communities. UNCF's work ensures talented students--regardless of background--can succeed in college and beyond.
