THE SHOWCASE OF HBCU

Education First Foundation, Inc. (EFF), a local non-profit founded in 2008, with a mission to make education a household priority and serve communities. At EFF, we know that Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) provide a niche market to introduce African American students to college, who may not have otherwise considered achieving higher education. We accomplish this goal annually by hosting: “The Showcase of HBCU: College and Career Fair.”

The Showcase of HBCU Connects face-to-face with high school students (African American), other young adult prospects, and parents. 

• Offers a hands-on college and career exploration and application navigation. 

• Showcases HBCU Academic Excellence, Pedagogy, and Culture. 

• Designed to provide a taste of the ultimate and compelling learning community environment. 

• Unmatched in programming by the traditional college fair.
