Intel announced its HBCU Grant Program, a $4.5 million investment that encourages students to remain in STEM pathways at six HBCUs.
As the numbers of women and people of color in Silicon Valley continue to be elucidated, it has become increasingly clear that there is a long way to go. One tech company, however, is investing in the talent pipeline while students are still in college, ostensibly to prepare them for work in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) sectors.
This week, tech behemoth Intel announced its HBCU Grant Program, a $4.5 million investment that encourages students to remain in STEM pathways at six historically black colleges and universities: Florida A&M University, Morgan State University, Howard University, Prairie View A&M University, North Carolina A&T State University and Tuskegee University.
