3,000 STUDENTS. 40 SCHOOLS. ONE LOVE.
Conyers, GA (BlackNews.com) ‑ At a time when so
many historically black
colleges and universities are struggling due to
a lack of endowment or
decrease in student enrollment, there finally
seems to be a light at the
end of the tunnel.
Founded in 2006, The National Black College Tour
Inc., provides high
school students (grades 9‑12) with the
opportunity to select and tour
such schools as Howard University, Morgan State
University, Hampton
University, Tuskegee University, Clark Atlanta
University, and over 40
other historically black colleges and
universities.
With the help of such notable partners as Subway
Restaurants*, and the
Hilton* Hotels Corporation, The National Black
College Tour Inc. seeks
to provide high school students with an
unforgettable opportunity to see
first‑hand the unique educational experience
that historically black
colleges and universities have to offer.
Tour registration includes bus transportation,
hotel lodging, meals,
tour t‑shirt and bag, college prep seminars, as
well as covering all
tour recreation / entertainment activities. Each
tour participant also
receives a waived application fee with Edu,
Inc., an Atlanta‑based
company that provides students an opportunity to
apply to over 34
historically black colleges and universities at
once.
Although Atlanta (Georgia) serves as the hub
city or primary departure
location for all of its 2008 college tours, The
National Black College
Tour Inc., also provides students from
out‑of‑state who would like to
attend with a non‑standard registration package
that also includes
round‑trip airfare courtesy of Delta Air Lines*.
The Summer 2008 tour dates are June 22‑27 and
July 27‑August 1.
Standard tour registration is only $725. A
deposit of $250 is due by
Friday, February 29th. All remaining payments
are divided evenly between
April and June.
Milan Ford, founder and director of The National
Black College Tour
Inc., and college minister for over 10 years,
understands that security
and supervision is a top priority for many
parents. The National Black
College Tour Inc. provides paid chaperones for
each of its tours. The
student‑to‑chaperone ratio is eight to one.
