Hampton university title III future act 2025-2030.

The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education awarded Hampton University $1.8 million on October 1, 2025, under the Higher Education Institutional Aid program (CFDA 84.031), specifically the Title III Future Act component for Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The award funds activities to strengthen the institution's management, fiscal operations, and academic quality through October 1, 2027, with performance taking place in Hampton, Virginia.

Hampton University, a private nonprofit HBCU, is the recipient and prime awardee. The Title III Part B program allocates funds to eligible historically Black institutions established prior to 1964 whose principal mission is the education of African Americans. Hampton qualifies under this statutory formula-based allocation mechanism. The institution maintains a substantial federal research and education portfolio spanning atmospheric science, remote sensing, earth observation, STEM workforce development, climate science, genomics research, and military educational services across 725 awards from 89 federal agencies, with the National Science Foundation and NASA as primary funding sources.

This assistance type is a project grant. Institutional Aid funding supports eligible colleges and universities in planning, developing, or implementing activities including endowment building to strengthen academic quality and institutional operations. Recipients must retain grant records for three years after the end of the fiscal year in which expenditures were made and remain subject to federal audit during the grant term and within three years after support terminates.
