LANGSTON, Okla. — Langston University has announced the clearance of over $4.5 million in student debt balances.
The historically black institution will, for the second time, use funding from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund to cancel student account balances. The first time Langston University canceled student account balances was in August 2021, with a clearance amount of $4,654,112.
This year's initiative will impact students enrolled throughout the summer 2022, fall 2022 and spring 2023 semesters. Founded in 1897, the university is the only historically Black college or university in the state of Oklahoma and enrolls approximately 3,000 students across three campuses. About 70% of the student body are first generation college students.
The new clearance"includes students not currently enrolled at the institution as well as those enrolled during summer 2022 or fall 2022 who will now be cleared of any hold preventing them from receiving an official transcript due to a balance," Smith's memo reads.
