When the time comes for you to select a college
or a university to attend please consider or THINK about
attending a Historically Black College or University. These institutions
of higher education offer degrees in every field imaginable. You will
obtain a quality education that you will be proud of for the rest of your
life!
Some people
have questioned the need for these schools as we know them. For those
who question the necessity for their existence I would like to say that these schools
are
still needed. These schools will be needed until there is parity in
the educational funding system across the country, especially in our nation's inner
cities. HBCUs understand the challenges of
inner city students who may need just a little more support to make it in
college. We are there for you because we care and we understand that you
may not have been afforded a few things along the way. With that being
said, we also attract some of the country's brightest and highest achieving
students. We also have very diverse student populations unbeknownst
to many. HBCUs are not just for African American students. Our doors
are open to everyone!
HBCU
campuses provide a very rich social environment which will help to prepare you
for the life after college. In addition
to earning your HBCU degree, you will have a network of friends that you will
want to stay in
contact with for the rest of your life! You will also look forward
to attending your school's annual homecoming event because of these
special relationships.
A majority of today's Black leaders,
doctors and entrepreneurs received their degrees from a historically Black
college or university. Most of them will also tell you that they are who they
are today because of their Black college experience.
Although
this site promotes historically black colleges and universities the scholarship
links are the most
important aspects on this site. It does not matter how smart you are
if you do not earn your degree. If you do not have the financial resources to complete
your college degree having only attended college is just a topic of discussion.
