The HBCU Information Network (HBCUIn) is on a keen mission: to educate high school
students on attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), as well as their
ongoing purpose within the community and continual economic impact of their student body,
both past and present. To date, HBCUs enroll more than 370,000 students and graduate
nearly 25 percent of all African-American undergraduate degrees and take account for over
half of today's African-American professionals.
We are extremely pleased that your company is interested in supporting our work. When your
company joins us through a corporate alliance, your employees and customers have the
opportunity to see that you are truly committed to diversity. HBCU Information Network
experiences not only fulfill a heartfelt desire, but bring happiness and joy to children, families
and more than often, entire communities.
To HBCU Information Network, “corporate philanthropy” is more than a business
catchphrase. We recognize the value of corporate support and we could not survive without it.
Corporate sponsors play significant roles in helping our kids and most importantly motivating
them to Live Educated. By creating successful corporate sponsorships, we are able to grow
our mission and reach more children every year in some of the most underrepresented
communities throughout country.
If first-generation students can attain associate’s or bachelor’s degrees, they can earn
comparable salaries and are employed in similar occupations as non-first-generation students.
Thank you for considering the HBCU Information Network as your nonprofit alliance. We
take pride in having one of the most innovative, yet well-respected brands in America.
