For the fifth consecutive year, Nashville’s HBCU Fair will return to University School of Nashville.

Save the date, Saturday, August 22, for Nashville's fifth Annual HBCU Fair, which will be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, August 22, 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 free event will give Middle Tennessee high school students and their families the opportunity to meet with admissions officers and administrators from historically Black colleges and universities throughout the country.

Let these schools know you are coming by registering here.

As a special highlight of the fair, students and their families will have the unique opportunity to hear from a special guest speaker, who will be announced at a later date.
