How to apply to an hbcu
Students can apply to HBCUs using the Common App (refer to the Private Colleges page).
Students may also apply using the Black Common App, a simpler version of the Common App. We recommend applying using the Black Common App if the only private colleges that you're applying to are HBCUs.
