Welcome to The A.L. Harper Foundation! We are a grassroots organization established in 2017, dedicated to directly supporting students at Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs). With tuition costs increasing across all HBCUs, our students need our assistance more than ever. Traditionally, students who attend HBCUs borrow student loans at higher rates and, consequently, graduate with substantially higher debt than their peers at non-HBCUs—even though HBCUs cost less. Our goal is to reduce the amount of debt they graduate with through scholarships and other awards. Thank you in advance for your support. Let’s keep HBCUs strong! ~ Adrian Lanett Harper, Founder & CEO (Donate Here)
