FY24 congressional community project funding morgan state university

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has awarded a $1,500,000 Congressional Grants (CFDA 59.059) project grant to Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant funding will support small business development and entrepreneurship initiatives, including programmatic and construction activities, over the period of July 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025. As a historically Black university, Morgan State has a strong track record of leveraging federal funding to broaden participation and expand opportunities for underrepresented minority students and entrepreneurs in fields like engineering, environmental sciences, and transportation. The university frequently collaborates with other academic institutions, national laboratories, and industry partners as both a prime and subcontractor on federal projects. This Congressional Grants award will enable Morgan State to continue delivering comprehensive small business support services, technical assistance, workforce training, and community economic development initiatives designed to foster growth and success for underserved entrepreneurial communities.
