$10 million in student debt is wiped out for 2,500 South Carolina students using stimulus funds

South Carolina State University becomes the latest Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to remove student debt as a barrier to education.

www.businessinsider.com

South Carolina State University just became the latest school to act on the $1.7 trillion student-debt crisis in the country.

Last week, South Carolina's only public Historically Black College or University (HBCU) announced it was wiping out $9.8 million in student debt, clearing the account balances of more than 2,500 students who were previously unable to afford returning to college. According to the press release, the vast majority of students who received notification of debt cancellation were either not yet registered for the next semester because of past-due account balances, or who have stopped attending college entirely because they couldn't afford to pay.

The Fuddruckers Franchise Is Now Owned By A Black HBCU Alum | Essence

The acquisition makes Nicholas Perkins the largest franchise owner and the first African American to have total ownership of a national burger business.

The Fuddruckers Franchise Is Now Owned By A Black HBCU Alum

Nicholas Perkins acquired the Fuddruckers franchise for an estimated $18.5 million dollars, making him the largest franchise owner and the first African American to have total ownership of a national burger business. Perkins’ Black Titan Franchise Systems LLC reached a deal with Luby’s earlier this summer to take over ownership of the Fuddruckers brand from Luby’s, a Houston-based reported cafeteria chain that last year began liquidating its assets and dissolving the company.

Perkins was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina to a single mother and grandmother, Mrs. Laurene Perkins who sparked his interest in cuisine. His passion for cooking, influenced by his grandmother and business were conjoined and thus birthed the Perkins Management Company. The HBCU alum received his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and Management from Fayetteville State University and later went on to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Howard University.
