Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Historically Minority-Serving Institutions Omnibus.

HB 1133 aims to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other minority-serving institutions in North Carolina through three main actions. First, it establishes a temporary committee to study the physical condition of HBCU buildings, including safety risks, age, and maintenance needs, with a report due in early 2027. Second, it creates a permanent financial aid program for students at specific UNC constituent institutions, providing up to $1,000 per year to help cover costs for those who need financial assistance to graduate on time. Third, the bill allocates nonrecurring funds in the 2026-2027 fiscal year for specific infrastructure repairs and renovations at Winston-Salem State University.
