Historically Black Tuskegee University in Alabama has entered into an agreement with the Ministry for Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Dominican Republic. Under the agreement, up to 25 students from the Dominican Republic will receive government-funded scholarships for graduate study at Tuskegee University.
