Black College Fund
Overview
Black College Fund: Support Leadership for Life
Following the Civil War, the former Methodist Episcopal Church organized the Freedmen's Aid Society to help educate Black people newly freed from slavery. Between 1866 and 1882, the society established more than 70 schools in the U.S. South and Southwest. Today, 11 colleges from that group — some created by mergers with other institutions — continue to educate people from all backgrounds.
