The United Negro College Fund (UNCF) is the nation’s largest, most successful and comprehensive education-assistance organization devoted to minority students. Since UNCF was founded in 1944, we have raised more than $5 Billion and helped graduate more than 500,000 students from college. In academic year 2021-2022 Michigan students received $1,365,546 from UNCF managed scholarships that assisted them in getting to and through school. With the rising cost of a college education, assistance is no longer a luxury, but instead a necessity for most middle-class families, and a lifeline for disadvantaged populations.
