UNCF’s role in providing educational opportunities for students in Missouri and nationwide is more important than ever.

UNCF’s mission is to build a robust and nationally recognized pipeline of under-

represented students who, because of UNCF support, become highly qualified college

graduates and to ensure that our network of 37 member HBCUs is a respected model

of best practices in moving students to and through college. UNCF administers more

than 400 programs, including scholarship, internship and fellowship, mentoring,

summer enrichment and curriculum, and faculty development programs. UNCF

envisions a nation where all Americans have equal access to a college education

that prepares them for rich intellectual lives, competitive and fulfilling careers,

engaged citizenship and service to our nation. Today, UNCF supports more than

60,000 students at over 1,100 colleges and universities across the country. For more

information, go to UNCF.org.

Donations to UNCF help to keep tuition at our member institutions more than 30 percent lower than tuition at other comparable schools. that’s important, because over 90 percent of students at UNCF schools require some form of financial aid.

thank You.When you contribute to UNCF,

you’re investing in better futures for us all.
