White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities Interagency Working Group

The White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (Initiative) Interagency Working Group (IWG), comprised of representatives of federal entities, helps advance and coordinate work throughout the federal government to strengthen the capacity and competitiveness of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The IWG is chaired by the Executive Director of the Initiative.

The IWG is the backbone of federal leadership to improve the capacity and competitiveness of HBCUs. It includes IWG Liaisons – senior officials appointed by agency heads to provide overall coordination with the Initiative – and IWG Representatives, who serve as the Initiative’s primary points of agency contact for day-to-day work.

Agency Plans

Federal entities of the IWG are required to prepare annual agency plans describing efforts to strengthen the capacity of HBCUs to participate, or be eligible to participate, in the programs and initiatives under the jurisdiction of each applicable federal entity.

Below, find annual agency reports by year and federal agency. Email OSWHI-HBCU@ed.gov with any questions about the agency plans.
