The opportunity
Talent should not be limited by tuition
For many graduating seniors, the distance between acceptance and enrollment is one final financial gap. Books, housing deposits, technology and travel can put an HBCU education out of reach.
More than a check
JPBC pairs tuition awards and laptop support with alumni mentorship, helping students arrive prepared, stay connected and build a network that follows them beyond graduation.
