Black Enrollment Lags At Florida’s Universities

by Associated Press , September 11, 2006

But the governor also acknowledged that the state hasn’t done enough in the past to provide financial aid for minority students. Last year, he met with the Florida A&M University Student Government Association to discuss that issue and appointed an Access and Diversity Commission to make recommendations.

That decision resulted in the Legislature passing the $11.5 million First Generation Matching Grant Program.

The program is designed mainly to help minorities by providing assistance to students whose parents do not have four-year degrees.

But even with that program, the state still doesn’t provide enough need-based financial aid, Miller says.
