The FUTURE Act enables HBCUs, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and other Minority-Serving Institutions to strengthen STEM education programs and build institutional capacity. The ACT also makes significant improvements to the federal student aid system by simplifying and streamlining the processes for applying for student aid and repaying student loans. Additionally, the Act will simplify the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and make it easier for low-and middle-income families to apply for and receive federal student aid.

As a result, the Strengthening Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Program was authorized under Part B of Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended by the Higher Education Amendment of 1986, by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, and by the Higher Education Technical Amendments Act of 1987. This is the basic structure of Title III today.
These grants are awarded based on a statutory formula to assist these institutions
in establishing and strengthening their physical plants, academic resources and student
services so they may continue to participate in fulfilling the goals of equality regarding
education opportunity in undergraduate and/or graduate education.
