Each year, since its inception in 1969, the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) honors outstanding graduates from 116 historically and predominantly Black colleges and universities. NAFEO serves as a clearinghouse for information on them, as a coordinator for the development of a collective approach for the higher education, and a resource for their institutional presidents. The Association continuously articulates the need for a higher education system where race, income and previous education are not determinants of either the quality or the quantity of the higher education. Listed below are the NAFEO honorees from Grambling State University starting from 1979.
