School’s out for summer, but for high school students that means beginning of college tours and applications. X is Possible, a personal and professional development company, is hosting an “Education is Possible” HBCU college tour from June 23 to 26 for high school students to visit and learn more about historically black colleges and universities in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina.
Participants will visit seven campuses: Morgan State University, Bowie State University, Hampton University, Virginia State University, Norfolk State University, NC A&T University and North Carolina Central University.
The program also includes career tips, cultural enrichment and college prep components, including an event at U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with a lab tour, two stops at historical landmarks and a college funding workshop presented by the United Negro College Fund.
Three nights of hotel lodging, ground transportation (by coach bus), meals and snacks and a 1-to-6 chaperone to student ratio are all included in the program. Registration for the tours close on June 10, and costs $750 per student. Attendance is limited to high school students, ninth grade to 12th grade.
Students will meet at a hotel in Maryland on June 23, and drop-off will be at a college in Washington, DC on June 26. (Details and addresses released to participants after registration.) For more information, click here.
