Winston-Salem State University

Enrollment at Winston-Salem State University has gone up nearly 5% since last fall, in line with a national trend of growth at historically Black colleges and universities.

Winston-Salem State University received a $500,000 grant that will support students preparing for graduate education and summer internships.

The Trump administration canceled $600 million in teacher training grants last year, forcing educator programs across the country to close. Winston-Salem TEACH lost 80% of its budget. But then the donations came pouring in.

North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University officials announced she donated $63 million to the school.

Plans for a restaurant and Winston-Salem State University offices at Union Station have stalled. City officials are now considering promoting part of the space as a wedding and event venue.

The ceremony came more than a year after she assumed the role as WSSU's 14th chancellor.

The University of North Carolina System as a whole reported record enrollment this fall, with some of the largest percentage increases in the system’s Historically Black Universities.

Documents show enrollment revenue is up for 14 of the UNC System’s 17 institutions. But that’s not the case for North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University or Winston-Salem State University.

A spokesperson for North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University says there are 25 enrolled students from Iran, Sudan and Republic of the Congo who are subject to the full ban.

Winston-Salem TEACH is a partnership between Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem State University and Salem College working to create a pipeline of quality teachers for local high-need public schools. The bulk of their funding comes from a U.S. Department of Education grant that was canceled last week.
