## Resource

Huston-Tillotson University just shattered records with a $150 million gift—the largest single donation ever given to an HBCU—marking its 150th anniversary and fueling student success through housing, scholarships, faculty growth, and campus upgrades. President Dr. Melva K. Wallace called it a powerful testament to faith and community, poised to transform Austin and secure the university’s legacy for the next 150 years. The Moody Foundation, pledging $1 billion to Texas education by 2035, sees this gift as a cornerstone of its mission to expand educational opportunity across the state.
