Title III

Title III and Future Act programs remain major sources of support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities through part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended by the Higher Education Act of 1986 and 2019.  Dillard’s Title III and Future Act funds currently support a number of initiatives strategically important to supporting and advancing the institution. 

These include recently developed inactivates like: a) BleuPrint-Signature Programs - that identify and support the creation of new or revised academic programs; b) Smart Technology Initiative-that provides training and access to advanced instructional technology for faculty and students, including virtual and hybrid learning technologies; c) New Millennial Nurse - supports advanced training and instructional technologies, as well as an advanced RN to BSN pathways initiative; d) Promoting Research Engagement-PRE, which provides support for newer faculty to advance their research competitiveness, publications, and other scholarly activities; and e) Pre-Law Program, which provides training and preparation for aspiring Law students, including mentoring, LSAT preparation and mock trial participation.
