HBCU Langston University Clears Over $4.5M In Student Debt Balances
“The HEERF award allows us to bring balances for students enrolled in a ‘pandemic semester’ to zero,” Langston University President Kent J. Smith shared in a letter. “This award will appear on student accounts as W204 – Higher Ed Emergency Relief Fund. This includes students not currently enrolled at the institution as well as those enrolled during Summer 2022 or Fall 2022 who will now be cleared of any hold preventing them from receiving an official transcript due to a balance. There is no expectation or requirement for enrollment in a future semester to receive the benefit of the cleared balance.”
He continued, “We are proud of the positive impact this initiative will have on our students, graduates, and their families for years to come. We appreciate your continued support of Langston University!”
