Signature Event

Detroit HBCU Enrollment Summit.

An annual gathering that brings HBCU admissions officers, scholarship providers, student-athletes, alumni, and parent workshops under one Detroit roof — the largest HBCU-focused enrollment event in Michigan.

The Summit

Where HBCUs meet Detroit face-to-face.

Many HBCUs can't afford to send recruitment teams to Detroit on their own. The Summit brings them together — admissions officers from across the country in one room, in front of the families ready to enroll.

It's part college fair, part scholarship showcase, part alumni reunion, part parent workshop — designed as a single weekend where awareness, applications, scholarships, and enrollment commitments all happen in real time.
