Yes, but if someone’s interested in aerospace engineering, UAH gets mentioned, no matter what the person’s need for scholarship money. When does AAMU get mentioned, if not for the money?
Yes, I totally agree. There are many HBCUs with strengths that can benefit a variety of students, regardless of race. It just seems that HBCUs very rarely get mentioned unless in a monetary context, which feels like a devaluing of HBCUs and what they offer. This is making me think that I should start a thread on the strengths of various HBCUs so that our community can use that as a resource in helping to recommend HBCUs in situations beyond finances…assuming, of course, that the context feels right.
EDIT: Here’s the created thread Areas of Strength at HBCUs
