Our 2024 HBCU Tour left lifelong memories and created an opportunity for scholars to get in-depth exposure of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Our Project Ready and 21st Century Program encourages all of our program participants to consider higher education as they quickly approach the end of their high school experience. Today we reflect on the success and impact of the HBCU tour in honor of National Decision Day!
