H.R. No. 294 is a resolution commemorating the 150th anniversary of Prairie View A&M University, recognizing its significant contributions to education and social progress in Texas. Established in 1876 under the Morrill Land Grant College Act, the university was initially created to educate African Americans and has since grown to become one of the largest historically Black colleges and universities in the nation. With nearly 9,900 students enrolled in the fall 2024 semester, Prairie View A&M offers over 70 degree programs and is noted for its excellence in various fields, including architecture, engineering, and business.

The resolution highlights the university's achievements, including its R2 designation from the Carnegie Classification for high research activity and its reputation as a top institution for graduating African Americans. It acknowledges the university's role in providing students with a strong foundation for successful careers and fulfilling lives. The Texas House of Representatives extends its best wishes to the university's administrators, faculty, staff, students, and alumni, and an official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard.
