Event brings access to college opportunities and funding to students and families across southeast Michigan
DETROIT, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Comerica Bank, together with the National College Resources Foundation (NCRF), have partnered to bring the Detroit Black College Expo™ to the Midwest Saturday, September 24 at Wayne State University Student Center from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm EDT (Expo 10-3, After Show 3-5). This year's one-day, in-person event provides opportunities for many high school students to have their college application fees waived – as well as chances to earn acceptance and receive scholarships to some colleges on the spot. The day is filled with energy, interaction and informative seminars and workshops for K-12 students and their families.
"The impact the National College Resources Foundation is having on our youth and college students is transformational," said Linda Nosegbe, Comerica Bank Vice President and National Community Impact Manager. "The Black College Expo™ in Detroit last year opened access and connected participants to post-secondary institutions and critical financial resources. We are honored to once again partner with the NCRF and enrich this year's expo and the seminar's expansive workshops."
The Detroit Black College Expo™ offers student attendees and their families access to college information and a chance to explore post-high school opportunities in an up-close and personal setting.
Seminars include: "How to Find Money for College," "Boomin' Careers," "Why Attend an HBCU," "The 411 for the Student Athlete," "How to Think & Grow Rich," "How to Start a Business," "Real Talk–College vs High School," and "How to Get A's in English moderated by NCRF Celebrity Ambassador Hip Hop Legend Yo-Yo."
