Description

Why Attend an HBCU is Volume I in the Why Attend an HBCU series and provides insight into the history of HBCUs and the plethora of opportunities available at HBCUs. The book identifies the HBCUs affiliated with the United Negro College Fund and HBCUs affiliated with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. Readers will gain insight into the graduate school and career pathways, internship opportunities, post-college employment opportunities, and scholarship opportunities available to HBCU students that are not available elsewhere. The book also profiles the largest employers of HBCU students; top industry supporters; and top government partners. The reader will also learn why students interested in attending an HBCU must engage in thorough and deliberate research, as profiled in later volumes, to identify the HBCUs and scholarships best aligned with each student’s educational and career aspirations. The book continues footnotes with links to a variety of resources.
