NCRF and Black College Expo™ were founded by Dr. Price in 1999 to serve as a platform for students to learn about the rich history and legacy of HBCUs in our nation’s educational landscape. The expos have since grown to be a vital link to college and careers for the Black and Brown community by providing access to HBCUs, other colleges and universities. The expos have also been the hub of opportunities where students can receive on-the-spot acceptances, have college application fees waived and receive millions in scholarships.

Dr. Price extends an invitation to all to come and cheer on ALL THINGS HBCU. “For 25 years, NCRF has partnered with HBCUs in a shared mission to bring access to education to underserved and underrepresented students. We honor the HBCUs’ incredible impact on our national educational landscape and on the individual lives they have transformed. Please join us to celebrate our HBCU family on May 31st, it will be a night of love and light!” To register to celebrate ALL THINGS HBCU by attending this free event, follow this LINK: https://ncrfoundation.charityproud.org/EventRegistration/Index/16107
