UPCOMING REAL TALK EVENTS
Wed, May 25 &/or Thu, May 26 | 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT
Real Talk is a safe space for Black students and their families to connect with colleges and access organizations across the country. Every session is authentic, engaging, and, most of all, real.
Up next is Real Talk: HBCU Edition. There are more than 100 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the country, which all offer completely unique experiences. This is an opportunity for you and your teen to hear from a variety of campus representatives and current HBCU students about what it's like to attend an HBCU and get key info on the admissions process, scholarships, student life, and more.
As your teen navigates the college planning process, we're here as always to give you the tools and resources to support them in their journey and help them decide what school would be the best fit. Whether you're an HBCU grad yourself, or interested in learning more, we encourage you to join us for our two-night event.
