About half of the historically black colleges and universities listed below reported increases in the number of applicants from 2014 to 2015. Among them is Fort Valley State University, which made it easier for students to apply by handing out paper applications at recruitment events and also began offering in-state tuition to qualified students from three neighboring states. Even some colleges with a drop in applicants from 2014 to 2015 saw increases in first-time undergraduate enrollment over that period. Only 16 of the 52 historically black institutions on the list reported an increase in first-time enrollment from the fall of 2005 to the fall of 2015, while 30 saw an increase from the fall of 2014 to the fall of 2015.
