Representatives from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, as well as a few local colleges, have been invited to The 4th Annual Showcase of HBCU to meet Kentuckiana’s young people and to recruit them to their universities.
A diverse group of community organizations, businesses, and professionals will also offer career counseling and youth development programs.
Preparatory workshops on topics such as taking the ACT/SAT, applying for financial aid, admission preparation, and college life will also be offered.
The unique format of workshops and direct interaction between accomplished adults and high school students allows students to learn about issues they may confront in the future, and to know that there is a support network and that success is possible.
The Showcase of HBCU returns for a fourth year featuring Kentucky State University on Friday, March 27th, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center. The event is aimed at students in grades 8 through 12, parents of college-bound students, and current college students considering a transfer.
For more information, please contact Andrea Houston, founder of Education First Foundation, Inc. and of The Showcase of HBCU at 502-435-4639.
