Title III

Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965 is a federally funded program designed to support the infrastructure of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and other institutions serving a high number of low-income students.

The mission of Title III programs is to ensure that federal resources are effectively and efficiently used to assist the university in becoming self-sufficient and expanding its capacity to serve low-income students.  The funds are provided to improve and strengthen the university's academic quality, institutional management, fiscal stability and student service outcomes.
