Diverse: Issues In Higher Education
New Better FAFSA form creates challenges for Black students and HBCUs, adding to financial aid hurdles and budgeting issues. Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) advocates for HBCUs, launching ‘Finish Your FAFSA: Find Your Future’ campaign with $1.1m ECMC Foundation grant to boost FAFSA completion. Despite efforts, enrollment erosion expected due to flawed process. TMCF and HBCU leaders engage with U.S. Department of Education for solutions, urging government to support HBCUs during Better FAFSA implementation.
