There are nine HBCUs in Texas, but Texas Southern University and Prairie View A&M are the only public four-year institutions in the group. In 2021, the schools had the highest percentages of students graduating with debt among public universities in the state – 80% of Texas Southern bachelor’s students and 71% of Prairie View A&M bachelor’s students graduated with debt.
Compounding student loan debt for both their children and themselves can trap many families in a cycle of debt that can be difficult to escape.
