Bill overview
The IGNITE HBCU and MSI Excellence Act aims to improve facilities at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), graduate programs at HBCUs, and other minority-serving institutions (MSIs). It establishes a grant program where the Department of Education will award funds to these institutions for projects like constructing or renovating buildings, making repairs, and enhancing campus safety. The grants are subject to specific requirements, including meeting building codes, prioritizing institutions with the greatest need, and promoting the use of contracts with small businesses owned by veterans. The program also includes provisions for technical assistance, repayment of capital financing loans, and a study of the grant program’s implementation.
