“Thank you so much for your ongoing support throughout my undergraduate studies. Because of the encouragement and investment from this community, I am graduating from North Carolina A&T State University, the nation’s leading producer of Black engineers. Your support has helped make this accomplishment possible, and I am incredibly grateful for everyone who believed in me along the way.”

“I would like to thank Progressive Baptist Church and everyone who has supported students through this program. Attending college out of state comes with challenges, but the love, encouragement, and support I received helped me stay focused and continue pursuing my goals.
One of the most meaningful parts of my journey is that I chose Tennessee State University after participating in the HBCU College Tour. The experience gave me the opportunity to see firsthand what life at an HBCU could be like. Now, after five years of hard work and preparing to graduate, I can see how important that experience was. It helped shape my future, and I am thankful for everyone who made it possible.”

Senior, Biology
Metropolitan State University
“I had the privilege of attending the Progressive Baptist Church HBCU College Tour in 2017. Coming from a small college preparatory high school, it was difficult to picture myself thriving at a larger university. The tour helped me see what was possible.
For the first time, I was able to envision myself as a young African American woman pursuing higher education and achieving my goals. Because of this experience, I was inspired to attend the illustrious Fisk University and continue building a future filled with opportunity.
I am deeply grateful to every sponsor, donor, volunteer, and supporter who makes this tour possible. I encourage every student to take advantage of this opportunity. You are investing in your future while others are investing in you.”
