THREE UNCF-SPONSORED REQUESTS TO NSF'S AMP PROGRAM
UNCF has just sponsored three proposals to the National
Science Foundation's Alliances for Minority Participation (AMP)
Program. These proposals would create three alliances, totalling
36 of UNCF's 41 member colleges and universities, to create and
enhance programs to significantly increase the number of African
American and other minority baccalaureates in the sciences,
mathematics and engineering. They are the first proposals
submitted to the Program for alliances entirely composed of
independent historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
Their participation in the AMP program is overdue.
Only 3 of the 20 functioning AMPs are led by black
universities (Howard, Jackson State, and Chicago State
Universities). None are led by private HBCUs.
In 1993, only 1.02% of NSF funding for higher education
went to HBCUs, and of this the lion's share supported
public, not private HBCUs.
Statistics and long experience have demonstrated the
disproportionately large impact of UNCF member colleges and
universities in nurturing and graduating minority students in
science and technology -- and getting them successfully into
professional and other advanced degree programs.
UNCF institutions enroll only 7% of all African Americans
attending 4-year colleges and universities, but they
account for the following percentage of degrees earned by
African Americans: 10.2% in computer science, 15.78 in
the life sciences, 18% in mathematics, and 25.9% in the
physical sciences.
While only 3% of U. S. higher education institutions are
HBCUs, over 1/3 or all African Americans graduate from
HBCUs, 43% of all African Americans who earn Ph.D.s
graduate from HBCUs. Of all UNCF alumni, 75% have gone
to graduato school, and 55% have earned advanced degrees.
All three UNCF AMP proposals, submitted by Clark Atlanta,
Tuskegee, and Xavier Universities, deserve the Administration's
support. Composed of equally outstanding groups of private IIDCUs,
these alliances will be able to share their expertise and
experience to greatly increase African American graduates in
science and technology -- making the AMP program a far more
representative and resounding success.

P.03/03
The remarkable absence of independent HBCUs from an otherwise
successful federal program has been due to the perceived
disadvantage of private versus state-run institutions in meeting
federal matching requirements. (The same factor has kept
independent HBCUs from applying to many other federal programs.)
This year they have attempted the rigors of planning and proposal
development because of UNCF's commitment of coordination and
support.
In 1994, UNCF obtained a planning grant from NSF to convene a
planning conference to determine program needs and strengths in the
sciences, mathematics and engineering, organizing its member
colleges and universities into regional groups to apply for
membership in NSF's AMP program. UNCF has guaranteed that it will
produce or help raise the matching funds necessary for its member
colleges and universities to successfully carry out all the
programs proposed in the three AMP proposals now under review by
the NSF. It is hoped that this guarantee and commitment will make
Clark Atlanta, Tuskegee, and Xavier Universities' AMP proposals
more competitive in the application process.
Nevertheless, given the historical and contemporary issues
cited above, UNCF urges the endorsement and backing of the Clinton
Administration so that all three of its member institutions' AMP
proposals receive support in a strongly contested field.
