Morgan State University is Maryland’s largest HBCU and is a member of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. The Earl G. Graves School of Business and Management was the first established business school in the state and holds accreditation through the AACSB. Over 90% of professors hold a Ph.D. in their discipline and are frequently recognized for their excellence in teaching and community engagement. Dr. Foster, associate professor, was selected as a 2018/2019 Entrepreneurship Teaching and Learning Scholar by the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

The school is using this grant to support entrepreneurs and those who work in the gig economy.
