The HBCU Campaign Fund (HCF) expresses deep concerns about provisions in the proposed FY27 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Act that could make college less affordable and accessible for missions of students.

The proposal would eliminate subsidized student loans for new borrowers, creating additional financial burdens for students while raising concerns about the future of critical support for HBCUs and other Minority-Serving Institutions. These institutions rely on federal investment to strengthen academic programs, improve student success, and expand opportunities for underserved communities.

We urge Congress and federal policymakers to protect and strengthen programs that promote educational access, affordability, and student success. Read our full statement: https://t.co/tRuLvTJiEl
