USN is thrilled to host Nashville's HBCU Fair for the fourth year.
Save the date, Saturday, August 23, for Nashville's third Annual HBCU Fair, which will be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, August 23, at University School of Nashville, 2000 Edgehill Ave. The parking lot and main entrance to the school are accessible only from 19th Avenue South.
This event allows Middle Tennessee high school students and their families to meet with admissions officers and administrators from historically Black colleges and universities throughout the country. Last year, over 800 people attended the HBCU Fair, where admissions officers advised prospective students on selecting the right college and scholarship opportunities.
HBCUs present in 2024 were Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, Alcorn State University, American Baptist College, Bethune-Cookman University, Clark Atlanta University, Fisk University, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Hampton University, Jackson State University, Morehouse College, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, North Carolina Central University, Spelman College, Tennessee State University, Tougaloo College, and Tuskegee University.
Let these schools know you are coming by registering at usn.org/HBCUfair.
As a special highlight of the fair, high school students and their families will have the unique opportunity to hear from Tim Fields, the co-author of “The Guide to College for Black Families,” and Jason Hamilton, whose “FinAide” app has helped families navigate the complicated world of paying for college. Their insights and advice are invaluable for anyone considering higher education.
