2016. This is after a 9.9% tuition increase in 2012-2013. Withcuts to financing programs and other federal grants, the burden of paying for college may detereconomically disadvantaged URMs from going to college or graduating from college. The effects of the budget cuts and tuition increases can be seen in the decrease in enrollmentat HBCUs. Of the eleven HBCUs in NC, only three saw enrollment percentage increases in full-time students, while seven saw double digit decreases from 2010-2013. Smaller colleges anduniversities such as HBCUs and UNCP, which are URM dominated, have smaller endowmentsand depend heavily on tuition dollars and government funding to continue operations.C.
