Historically Black Colleges and Universities

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) play a vital role in educating, empowering, and supporting generations of students. The Steve Fund’s HBCU Initiative partners with these institutions to strengthen students’ mental health and emotional well-being by providing culturally informed resources, research insights, and practical tools for campus communities.

This resource hub is designed to support students, faculty, staff, and campus leaders with evidence-based strategies, programs, and guidance that help foster environments where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Through these resources, The Steve Fund works alongside HBCUs to advance student well-being and build stronger, more supportive campus communities.
