What's Happening?
The Black College Expo is set to take place at Fairplex Pomona, offering students the opportunity for on-the-spot college acceptance. Dr. Theresa Price, founder of the National College Resources Foundation, is spearheading the event. The expo aims to connect
students with historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and other higher education institutions. Attendees will have the chance to meet with college representatives, learn about scholarship opportunities, and receive guidance on the college application process. The event is part of a broader effort to increase college access and success for underrepresented students.
Why It's Important?
The Black College Expo plays a crucial role in promoting higher education among minority students, particularly those from African American communities. By providing direct access to college representatives and on-the-spot acceptance, the expo helps demystify the college application process and reduces barriers to entry. This initiative supports educational equity and can significantly impact the future prospects of participating students. It also highlights the importance of HBCUs in fostering academic and professional success for African American students.
