Currently, 48 percent of Howard University’s students are Pell recipients. In its first web exclusive
social mobility ranking, U.S. News and World Report recognized Howard University as the top private
institution for “how well schools graduated students who received federal Pell Grants (those typically
coming from households whose family incomes are less than $50,000 annually).”
The University owns and operates a public television station (WHUT) and nonprofit commercial radio
