During a recent budget work session on April 14, 2025, the Prince George’s County Education and Workforce Development Committee highlighted the ongoing success and future challenges of the Black Male Success Group at Prince George’s Community College. The program, which aims to support young Black men through education and mentorship, is currently under scrutiny due to compliance issues with new executive orders.

Officials reported that an audit of programs and scholarships revealed that the Black Male Success Group is classified as "high risk" for non-compliance. However, the college remains committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, assuring that adjustments will be made to continue serving this vital student population without compromising the program's mission.

The program operates under a budget of approximately $3.5 million, which also includes a comparable initiative for women. The committee discussed strategies to secure additional funding sources to support these high-risk programs, emphasizing their importance to the community.

Committee members expressed enthusiasm for the program's positive impact, noting its success in outperforming similar initiatives. The ongoing commitment to these programs reflects the college's dedication to fostering educational opportunities for all students, ensuring that no group is left behind as they navigate potential regulatory changes.
