Houston Convention Will Be Asked to Fund 3 Black Episcopal Colleges

Diocesan Press Service. July 31, 1970 [89-14]

Three colleges in the South associated with the Episcopal Church and dating back to late in the 19th Century will share in one of the important budget proposals to come before the 63rd General Convention meeting at Houston, Tex. They are: St. Augustine's College, Raleigh, N.C.; St. Paul's College, Lawrenceville, Va., and Voorhees College, Denmark, S. C.

Predominantly Negro in faculties and student bodies, the three colleges, under the budget proposal, would receive $800, 000 for further development. The funds would be used to upgrade faculty, to provide scholarships for students and to finance new approaches to higher education for black students.

An additional $200,000 for the same purposes will be proposed to the Convention for approval, to be included in "Opportunities for Beyond-Quota Support," over and above the base budget requirements for 1971.
