Case ΒιΆΉΣ³» is partnering with nine Minority Serving Institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to offer scholarships that cover at least 30% of tuition for dozens of the universityβs leading graduate programs. The partnership will also establish long-lasting, collaborative research and teaching relationships between these universities.
βAt Case Western Reserve, we are striving to build a more diverse and inclusive community, where humanity, science and technology meet to create a just and thriving world,β said Provost and Executive Vice President Ben Vinson III. βWith our new North Star Award program, weβre seeking graduate and professional students from such high-quality partnering institutions who uphold those same guiding principles. The award will also create meaningful connections between our institutions that we can use to strengthen and elevate the impact of our educational missions.β
βXavier University of Louisiana, like other HBCUs, was founded on a commitment to excellence and as an act of what we would now call antiracism,β said Anne McCall, Xavierβs provost and senior vice president of academic affairs. βAs we near our centennial year of struggle and success, we are proud to work together with Case ΒιΆΉΣ³», one of our nationβs premier institutions. Our relationship is a significant commitment to increasing graduate and professional school opportunities for our students and helping our nation fulfill its promise.β
