A recent report, titled Basic Needs Insecurity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, examines these issues and shares recommendations to address them. The publication, funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, draws on findings from a survey administered to nearly 5,000 students from 14 public and private four-year HBCUs. Nationwide, 75% of students at HBCUs are Pell Grant recipients.
