If you work in higher education or tech here in Arlington, you have likely observed how compressed budgets and advocacy can limit innovation. What most people don’t appreciate is that millions of dollars of federal IT funding go unclaimed every year. This money could be used by campuses to upgrade technology, improve cybersecurity, and enhance the educational experience for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across Virginia.

At Omega Technical Solutions, we’ve seen this gap up close. We partner with educational institutions, nonprofits, and small businesses throughout the region, assisting them in accessing, implementing, and securing technology funded by HBCU federal funding programs and other modernization grants from governmental organizations. It's not that the money doesn't exist; it's the fact that the institution didn't know how to access any of those funds or assumed that it might be too complicated to qualify.
