Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to share news about our upcoming college tours!

We recognize that some families require additional flexibility to participate, which is why we are now introducing a payment plan. Families may pay 50% of the tour cost upfront to reserve their student's seat, with the remaining balance due one week before the tour.

Our goal is to provide all students with the opportunity to take part in our college tours, regardless of their financial situation. We believe that every student deserves an opportunity to have an opportunity.

For the Love of HBCU's!

For more information email us at [email protected].

This Spring, the fair will start in Little Rock, AR on Monday February 26th. It will be held at the West Central Community Center from 9am to 2pm. We would like the opportunity to impact as many students as possible. If you know of any high schools in the area that would like to have their juniors or seniors attend, please have them email me at [email protected]

We enjoyed hosting our last workshop of The Breakdown Series at the East Shelby Branch Library. Whether we serve a large or small group, our attendees receive great information and tools. Thank you to those who attended each workshop!

The last of this library series at the East Shelby Branch public library!! While FAFSA is a hot topic right now, scholarships and other methods to finance your student's education should be also. We want to help families have these real conversations. Feel free to share with someone you know!
