Northwestern Mutual’s $2.5M Investment: Boosting Higher Education for Students of Color

Northwestern Mutual will be awarding $2.5 million in grants and scholarships to 136 students through its new HBCU Connection Scholarship program. The program aims to support students from pipeline schools, with financial aid, internships, and job opportunities. This comes at a crucial time as Black students face challenges in higher education due to recent Supreme Court rulings.
