Five Days. Eight HBCUs. A Journey Toward College Readiness.

Our October 5 to 9, 2026 HBCU College Tour brought 38 travelers on a five-day educational journey through eight historic colleges and universities. Students experienced campus life firsthand, attended admissions presentations, learned about financial aid, compared academic programs, and asked questions about student support and college expectations. The journey also included cultural learning in Washington, D.C., personal development seminars, and guided reflection about college fit, possible majors, scholarships, and the steps needed to prepare for enrollment.

A message about the experience

What an extraordinary educational journey it was. Our students walked the campuses of historic institutions, learned about academic programs and career opportunities, explored new cities, built friendships, and created memories that will remain with them for years to come.

Most importantly, our students saw possibilities that may change the direction of their lives. For some, the tour strengthened their determination to attend college. For others, it planted the first seeds of a dream that can continue to grow.

We are especially proud that students received college admission letters during the journey. Their accomplishments remind us why direct college exposure matters and why young people need opportunities to see themselves as future college students.

We did more than visit colleges. We opened doors, expanded horizons, inspired dreams, and helped young people recognize the greatness within themselves.
