Tracking the enrollment at historically Black colleges can be difficult. Many historically Black colleges do not adhere (at all or strictly) to May deadlines for telling the college if a student who has been accepted will enroll. This reflects a reality that the colleges are admitting students who will be just able to afford to attend (with the aid they are given), and for many students and families, the beginning of May is the start of the time to figure out what they can afford.
Nonetheless, some Black colleges are declaring this year to be one of amazing success in admissions.
On Saturday, Dr.
Mary Schmidt Campbell, the school’s president, announced they had reached 96% of their $250 million goal and rallied supporters to continue giving toward the strategic campaign, which is scheduled to end in 2024.
In less than four years, the campaign has raised more than $240 million intended to support the college’s strategic priorities.
“We have exceeded the expectations of what the world thought we could do,” Campbell said. “We’re going to take Spelman beyond the finish line. We’re going to keep going until the end of the campaign. We’re hoping we can outdo ourselves in a mighty big way. Our trustees are continuing to open doors for us. Our alumni have taken up the cause for different projects. We’re about $30 million short on our new building, but we will get there.”
