The funds will help provide financial support for a wide variety of scholarships, technological infrastructure, career readiness and curriculum development programs. At Southern University a portion of the grant will aid in recovery from Hurricane Ida. The Universities participating in the grant program include [Prairie View A&M University](https://www.pvamu.edu/), [North Carolina A&T](https://www.ncat.edu/) State University, [Southern University A&M College](https://www.subr.edu/) and [Texas Southern University](http://www.tsu.edu/). They were selected because of their historic ties to Baker Hughes and their strong academic programs in science, technology, engineering, business and legal fields. This grant aligns with Baker Hughes’ strategy of building the energy workforce of the future and promoting a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. The Baker Hughes African American Forum (AAF) employee resource group was instrumental in engaging with the partner universities and developing the grant program. “Innovative minds and diverse perspectives are needed to meet the world’s pressing energy technology challenges, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities are developing future leaders who will help to solve them,” said Regina Jones, chief legal officer and trustee of the Baker Hughes Foundation. “It is important for companies like Baker Hughes to expand our educational partnership with HBCU’s, and we look forward to continuing this in the future.” To learn more about Baker Hughes’ work in supporting its communities, [visit our Corporate Responsibility website](https://www.bakerhughes.com/company/corporate-responsibility). **About the Baker Hughes Foundation:** For 25 years, the Baker Hughes Foundation has been a steward of charitable resources for meaningful community impact.
