To date, the  Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Capital Financing Loan Program has originated 134 loans to 52 HBCUs, including 16 public HBCUs and 36 private HBCUs. These colleges and universities  have used their loan proceeds to refinance previous capital project loans, to  renovate existing facilities, to build new facilities, or to achieve any  combination of the three.

On December 27, 2020, the President signed into law the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260) provides that the Secretary of Education repay, for each institution of higher education that is a participant in the HBCU Capital Financing Program, the institution’s outstanding balance of principal, interest, and fees on the disbursed loan amounts on closed loan agreements as of December 27, 2020. Through this Act, there were 75 loans discharged and 11 loans which remained. 

Through repayments and refunding, there are currently 28 loans outstanding to 17 colleges and universities with loan amounts ranging from $6 million to $226.5 million. These institutions have received loans totaling approximately $1.22 billion.  Public HBCUs have received about $488 million in loan proceeds and private HBCUs have received about $736 million in loan proceeds.  There are 14 active construction projects.
