HBCU School Matching
Helping each student identify the HBCUs where they’ll thrive, based on program fit, finances, and culture.
A structured program for high school students preparing for HBCU admissions, scholarships, and the financial aid process.
College Prep is UNITE’s structured program for high school students preparing for the HBCU application and scholarship process. We help students identify the right schools, navigate financial aid, and submit competitive applications.
This isn’t just college counseling. It’s a community of College Access Coaches, alumni, and current HBCU students who walk alongside every senior, from junior-year planning through their first semester on campus.
Helping each student identify the HBCUs where they’ll thrive, based on program fit, finances, and culture.
Common App, individual school portals, supplemental essays, recommendation logistics. We sit with students through it.
National, regional, school-specific. We build each student a personalized list and a submission calendar.
The form that scares most families. We make it routine. Plus appeal letters, gap analysis, and award-letter comparison.
From brainstorm to final draft. Strong essays earn admissions and scholarships, we treat them as the lever they are.
The summer before freshman year and the first semester on campus are where students fall through cracks. We don’t let them.
College Prep is open to high school juniors and seniors planning to apply to HBCUs, with priority for first-generation college students, students from underserved high schools, and students whose families want a partner in the process.
Already have a student? Already applied? Reach out anyway. We can often still help with scholarship strategy, FAFSA, and award-letter comparison even after applications are submitted.
Apply to a program, donate to a scholarship, or partner with us on an HBCU initiative.
