NEED HCBU Tour

HBCU Tour

Historically Black Colleges and Universities were established prior to 1964, with the intent of providing black students with post-secondary educational support that would lead to financial establishment and successful careers. 

Every spring, NEED embarks on the Annual Historically Black College and University Tour with a select group of 10th and 11th grade students. The tour visits over a dozen HBCUs, historical landmarks, and museums throughout the Eastern and Southern United States. This is an opportunity for high school sophomores and juniors to experience campus life and see the value of education. The tour is an eye-opening experience that provides a glimpse of the possibilities in higher education beyond their hometowns.  
The overall objective of the tour is to give future NEED recipients access to black culture as it exists within prominent black institutions and organizations. This tour is designed to encourage, support, and motivate students to pursue HBCU post-secondary education. Beyond seeing the campuses and historical sites, this is a chance for students to experience “living on their own” away from home and get a taste of what living in an out of state college dorm is like.
