The General Education Board (GEB) was established in 1903 by John D. Rockefeller
to aid education in the U.S. "without distinction of race, sex or creed." The program included grants for endowment and general budgetary support of colleges
and universities, support for special programs,
fellowship and scholarship assistance to state
school systems at all levels, and development
of social and economic resources as a route to
improved educational systems. Guide available. |

While schools across the U.S. received aid from the Board, southern and African-American
institutions were the main beneficiaries.
This
large collection consists primarily of memos, reports
and correspondence relating to later programs
of the General Education Board, especially the
New Southern Program beginning in 1940. Digital guide. |
