Strada's $25M HBCU bet started with listening, not a program to fund

Strada Education Foundation committed $25 million over eight years to HBCUs in August 2020 and, instead of imposing a pre-designed program, ran a listening tour with presidents and chancellors to surface needs. The framework that emerged now runs at 47 institutions, pairing a $7,000 scholarship with $1,200 per student per year in flexible funds to remove work-based learning barriers—shifting power from funder control to campus ownership and helping seniors complete internships at rates above national figures.
