Howard University

The Department of Education does not maintain Howard University as a sub-agency or subordinate contracting office. Howard University is a historically Black university chartered by Congress and located in Washington, D.C., but it operates as an independent institution, not as a federal agency within the Department of Education's hierarchy. The Department of Education administers federal student aid programs, oversees elementary and secondary education policy, and funds education research and development — but Howard University itself is not a federal agency, a contracting office, or a grant-making arm of the Department.

No recent contract or grant activity is recorded against Howard University as a federal agency or against subordinate offices reporting through it.
