The University is aware of the Trump Administration’s proposed funding recommendations for Howard University—one of the nation’s premier historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs)—as part of the discretionary funding levels for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026.

As a leading HBCU, Howard, has since its founding in 1867, cultivated talent, unlocked opportunity, and contributed mightily to every sector of American life. The University continues to do so as a top-tier Research 1 institution and a leading contributor to social and economic mobility for our graduates.

We look forward to engaging to sustain the FY 2026 budget to at least the level provided in FY 2025, ensuring the continued advancement of our mission and the legacy of academic excellence that defines Howard University.
