Black History.

Black Presence.

Black Futures.

  • Since the end of race‑conscious admissions, Black enrollment at many selective colleges has already started to decline—even as the process gets more competitive and confusing.

    Families are not powerless. Early, strategic planning and strong positioning can still open doors at selective PWIs and HBCUs.

    This Black History Month, we’re gathering 50 stories from families of high‑achieving Black middle and early high school students to help us defy that decline.

Schedule Call

how it works

In a 15–20 minute Black Futures conversation, you will:

  • Share what’s really happening for your student in this new admissions reality.

  • Help shape a program designed to support high‑achieving Black students.

Schedule Call

In return, you will receive:

    • 1–2 personalized admissions or merit‑aid recommendations for your student.

    • A brief follow‑up email with 2–3 tailored resources (for example, a school list lens to consider, an essay prompt to start now, or a scholarship search angle aligned to your student).

  • As an added benefit, we are awarding one Black Futures Test Prep Scholarship to support a high‑achieving Black student with ACT/SAT prep.

    The scholarship includes:

    • Access to our test prep curriculum and coaching (ACT/SAT),

    • A package valued at $5,000, designed to support multiple test dates over several years.

    One student will be selected based on alignment with our mission and the information shared in their interest form—not at random.

Schedule Call

To keep these 50 conversations focused and impactful, we’re limiting them to families who meet the following criteria:

    • Your student is currently in 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th grade.

    • Your student is of African or African American descent.

    • Your student is a U.S. citizen.

    • Your student is high‑achieving (for example, mostly A’s or a strong academic trajectory) and you’re serious about college and scholarship planning.

    • You’re willing to be candid about what’s confusing, frustrating, or exciting about your student’s path to college right now.

    • Your student is younger than 6th grade or older than 9th grade.

    • Your student does not identify as African or African American.

    • Your student is not a U.S. citizen.

    • You’re casually curious but not actively thinking about college, scholarships, or long‑term planning yet.

    If you’re outside these criteria but still want to stay connected, we invite you to join our email list for future resources and opportunities.
