History was made in Lorman. On July 12, Alcorn State University welcomed 110 scholars from 11 states for the 2026 TMCF SOAR Program, becoming the first four-year institution in Mississippi to host the program and drawing the second-largest scholar cohort in SOAR history.

These rising high school seniors from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina and Texas will spend six days on Alcorn's campus exploring majors, getting college admissions coaching, building their resumes and discovering that an HBCU might just be the place their future begins.

The best part? It was 100% free for the scholars and their families. Read the full story here — https://tinyurl.com/yb7xyyez
