HR 5896 United States House · 118th Congress

United Negro College Fund, Inc. Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill authorizes the presentation of a Congressional Gold Medal to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) and its member Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to recognize the UNCF's 80-year service. It directs the U.S. Treasury to strike the medal and sell bronze duplicates to cover costs, with proceeds going to the U.S. Mint. The medal commemorates the UNCF's role in supporting HBCUs and African-American students through scholarships and fundraising, as detailed in the bill's findings. The measure is purely ceremonial and does not create new policy or funding.
