Dillard University receives $1 million from the Ray Charles Foundation
The Ray Charles Foundation is continuing its longstanding relationship with Dillard University with a $1 million grant. The grant will continue to support the University’s Ray Charles Program in African-American Material Culture which launched a food studies minor in the spring of 2020. Funds will also support scholarships for students participating in the program. Dillard University is a private four-year liberal arts historically black institution with a history dating back to 1869.
“The Dillard University Ray Charles Program in African-American Material Culture is humbled and honored to receive a generous grant from the Ray Charles Foundation to continue to build on Ray Charles’ vision and mission to celebrate, preserve and document African-American material culture. A portion of the grant will also help us to provide scholarships to students enrolled in our new food studies minor,”
