Students: Why You Shouldn't Miss This Opportunity
We are equally excited about the full support of the United Negro College Fund Corporation, who will also be on-site bringing elements of the UNCF Empower Me Tour to our delegates.
The Empower Me Tour, will focus on college readiness, college completion and financial preparedness in a fun and exciting environment, to this year’s conference. The UNCF Empower Me Tour is part of UNCF’s effort to foster a college-going culture in the African American community.
Since its founding almost seventy years ago, UNCF has enabled nearly 400,000 African-American and minority students to earn college degrees from UNCF member HBCUs and with UNCF scholarships. With more than 400 scholarship, internship and fellowship programs, like the Gates Millennium Scholars Program and the UNCF/Merck Science Initiative, UNCF provides students with the tools and support they need to get to and through college.
We are excited to have UNCF participate in this year’s conference. We are encouraging all of our youth and parents to participate in these sessions, which are scheduled from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. on June 18-20, 2013. Bring your lunch and have dessert on UNCF. These are sessions you don’t want to miss!
