The mission of the Black College Expo is to curtail the high school dropout rate and at the same time increase college enrollment among underserved and underrepresented youth. Their year-round outreach program connects students directly to colleges, provides scholarships, and offers tutorial programs for college preparation. In addition, the outreach program provides guidance for student-athletes and connects students to career and internship opportunities. These comprehensive outreach activities continue to produce productive citizens in a diverse and competitive world who will positively impact their communities and our nation. To date: For over 12 years we have helped over 375,000 students get into college, connected thousands of high school and college students to internships and careers, in addition we have assisted in giving away over 3 million dollars in scholarships through our organization and scholarship partners.
