13th Annual Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) College Fair

See you next year!

This free virtual event provided students in Grades 8–12 an opportunity to meet representatives from more than 60 HBCUs. Representatives shared information and answered questions from students and parents about admissions, financial aid, testing, majors and much more. The event also featured a college preparation workshop for middle school students and parents, a discussion on college life, FAFSA completion assistance, scholarship information and more.

Many HBCU representatives held virtual interviews with 12th grade students. During the interviews, students could potentially receive application fee waivers, scholarship awards and on-site admission. Learn how to prepare for common interview questions and what questions you should ask the HBCU representatives to help maximize your chances of acceptance.
