Madison College on Monday announced a new partnership with UNCF aimed at enhancing opportunities for university transfer students.
The collaboration, starting in fall 2025, will provide Madison College students with access to valuable scholarships, financial aid, and career advising to support their educational pathways, as well as exclusive access to 37 historically Black colleges and universities.
“This collaboration will be incredibly impactful for our students,” said Madison College Provost Beth Giles in a statement. “Creating opportunities for all our students to have equitable access to higher education and its benefits is a priority here at Madison College. We are thankful for this partnership with UNCF.”
UNCF is one of the nation’s largest and most effective supporters of higher education and serves as a leading advocate for college-bound students. Since its founding in 1944, UNCF has raised more than $6 billion to support students’ access to higher education, provide scholarships and strengthen historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
“At UNCF’s Institute for Capacity Building (ICB), we believe that expanding access to HBCUs through strong transfer pathways is essential to building a more equitable higher education ecosystem,” said Ed Smith-Lewis, UNCF Sr. vice president of strategic partnerships and ICB. “Our partnership with Madison College reflects a shared commitment to student success, creating clear, supportive pathways for learners to thrive at our nation’s HBCUs. This articulation agreement is not just about transfer credits—it’s about transferring opportunity, aspiration, and the promise of degree attainment for more students.”
