Amherst College
Amherst College strongly holds the belief that all races, orientations and creeds should have access to their institution. They proved this way back in 1826 by becoming the first college in the U.S. to accept a student of color. This student would become the first African-American to graduate from their university.
Vanderbilt University
Nashville, Tennessee houses the Vanderbilt University which was named after a charitable man who wasn’t even from the southern state. He donated $1,000,000 in 1873 to boost the private research university. Today, on average, it grants access to 13.1% of applicants.
