The Disney HBCU week is October 7-9. Just like the Wilmington event, it will feature a college fair that could be life-changing.
" always knew we were going to an HBCU, it was just a matter of which one," she said of the desire her parents instilled in them to attend an HBCU, which is short for Historically Black Colleges and Universities."Black students were prohibited by law from matriculating in higher institutions.
The activities also feature a middle school college tour at Delaware State University, a block party, a battle of the bands and a college career fair. But those events won't happen solely in Wilmington. This year, there's a new "host site" for another HBCU week: Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
"Since 2017, we've given more than 3,500 acceptances on the spot," she said. "And the scholarships range from $5,000 to a full ride."
