NEWS FROM NASFAA

Advocates, alumni, journalists, experts, and more have been ringing alarm bells for decades about the critical underfunding of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). And while there have been recent efforts at both the state and federal levels to increase funding, experts say more work still needs to be done.

This webinar focuses on two pending U.S. Supreme Court cases — SFFA v. Harvard and SFFA vs. UNC — which challenge the legitimacy of race-conscious admission policies and seek to overturn decades of federal court precedent. While most of the attention in those cases centers on issues of admission policy and practice, important issues in those cases may bear on the continuing role of race and ethnicity in the awarding of financial aid and scholarships. This webinar distills the legal issues of consequence for aid and scholarship practitioners, and offers insights regarding court decision-readiness strategies and steps to consider. The webinar is free for members to watch on-demand now!
