About

HBCU Lifestyle was created to add value to the HBCU community by contributing relevant and thoughtful content that will help preserve the HBCU tradition. It is our primary intent to empower current and future generations of HBCU students and their families with valuable advice on college admissions, campus life & financial aid resources.

In addition to supporting students, we will connect, collaborate and fellowship with advocates, alumni, fans, and friends to collectively keep the dream alive.

HBCUs are just as relevant today, as when the first HBCU opened it’s doors over 100 years ago. The HBCU experience is a privilege that has been passed down for generations, and we must continue honor the legacy that has been passed down to us.
