IGNITE HBCU Excellence Act

The IGNITE HBCU Excellence Act would establish a federal grant program to fund large-scale infrastructure improvements at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). These funds would be used to renovate aging buildings, modernize classroom technology, improve campus safety, and ensure facilities meet updated energy and water conservation standards. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Education to pay off outstanding capital financing loans for these institutions, allowing schools to redirect those resources toward student services and academic programs.
