Lincoln University is a public Missouri university and I would assume that it is funded accordingly by the state. I would also assume that it qualifies for whatever other federal funding that a public institution would be accorded.
As for the UNCF, only 39 private schools are member institutions and they can receive direct support for their academic programs and some scholarships. Lincoln University would not qualify for membership since it is a public school. Students, regardless of race, may apply directly for a UNCF scholarship and they do not have to attend an HBCU or a member institution.
