A glimpse into the NBA HBCU Fellowship Program

Dear John,

Children's Defense Fund (CDF) is excited to announce our
extended partnership with the NBA Foundation. In its largest
single grant to date, the NBA Foundation has awarded CDF $3.6 million
over three years to help identify candidates and support program
management for the NBA HBCU Fellowship Program.

Launched in 2022, the fellowship provides career development
opportunities in the business of basketball for undergraduate and
graduate students from historically Black colleges and universities
(HBCUs).

CDF has endorsed congressional efforts to help level the playing field
for young adults in college who come from marginalized communities.
Although college enrollment rates have increased in general and across
races and ethnicities, racial disparities remain due to continued
hurdles, including financial ones and inequitable supports and
opportunities. The NBA HBCU Fellowship program can help counteract
these setbacks by providing Black college students with the tools to
thrive and boost their economic mobility.
