Many students receive little information about HBCUs during early college planning, according to a new study from the United Negro College Fund. Limited classroom discussion and low awareness may shape which colleges they consider.

HB 165, sponsored by Rep. Danny Garrett, R-Trussville, would require public colleges and universities to file an annual report detailing state and federal funds received and spent in the previous fiscal year.

The funding package aims to reverse Trump's proposed cuts by preserving Title I grants, HBCU assistance and more.

Programs that fail the Department of Education's proposed framework could potentially lose Direct Loan and Pell Grant eligibility.
