Washington, D.C., March 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) congratulates Secretary Linda McMahon on her confirmation to be the 13th United States Secretary of Education.

During the previous Trump administration, TMCF worked very closely with the administration and members from both sides of the aisle to deliver unprecedented levels of support from the federal government for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), predominantly Black institutions (PBIs) and their students.  We look forward to working closely with Secretary McMahon and her team to build upon that success in the future.

Investing in education and America’s workforce is a bipartisan priority and we look forward to working with our allies on both sides of the aisle to advance opportunity for all by increasing investments in HBCUs, PBIs and their students.”
