Ford Foundation Fellows is an on-line directory of minority Ph.D.s in all fields, administered by the National Research Council (NRC). The directory contains information on Ford Foundation Postdoctoral fellowship recipients awarded since 1980 and Ford Foundation Predoctoral and Dissertation fellowship recipients awarded since 1986. This database does not include Ford Fellows whose fellowships were administered by an institution or agency other than the NRC.

This list of minority institutions was compiled based on the definition of “minority institution” in the Higher Education Act (HEA).  NCES has determined that each of the colleges and universities on this list reported an enrollment of a single minority group, or combination of those minority groups, that exceeded 50 percent of its total enrollment. For the purposes of this list, “minority” is defined as American Indian, Alaska Native, Black (not of Hispanic origin) and Hispanic.
