"I really liked the tours because it opened me to new colleges I never knew existed. The staff always provided us with food and drinks. It helps us know what path we want to take when we get out of high school. What amazed me the most is that everyone got along and I made new friends while I was on the tours."

"Through the college tours I have attended, my knowledge about America's HBCU's has given me a new found understanding of the great education system in place for inner-city youth and youth in general. Being able to attend the Inaugural College Tour to VUU, VSU and NSU gave me the opportunity to choose my school of choice, which is NSU - Norfolk State University. Thank you H.B.C.U. Edtours Inc."

May God bless you and your team with this endevor."

"H.B.C.U. Educational Tours gave me the opportunity to look at historically black colleges and universities, specifically Livingstone College and Johnson C. Smith University. The insight gained is presently helping me with the college application process. I really enjoyed myself on the tour and I hope others will too.
Thank you for the opportunity

My family and I were blessed with the opportunity to attend the tour of the African American Museum where we were educated on more of the history and contributions of our fellow African Americans which left us feeling encouraged and empowered. Prior to this, my sons had experienced numerous tours with this organization. To have been relieved of the financial burden for the expenses of this trip was unique and invaluable. This program has afforded my children (as well as many others) the opportunity to visit HBCU's and other historical places when they otherwise may not have been able to. The staff was always very courteous and professional, kept us informed about upcoming trips. I think that programs like this are needed in the inner-city as a means to fuel the aspirations and ignite the potential of our future generations.
Malachi Green, Henrico Cty, VA - Participant
I really enjoyed the experience. I feel that I really learned a lot from student that I heard from that attended HBCU's. I was impressed with their willingness to share all their experiences. I learned things about the history of African Americans that gave me a sense of pride. I would encourage anyone that has the opportunity to take these tours to do so, as I feel that it was a eye-opening experience for me.
Raheem Pope, Henrico Cty, VA - Participant
Prior to this trip, I had little knowledge about HBCU's. Coming off of this tour, I came away feeling more educated and had a feeling that I could relate to those that attended HBCU's in a meaningful way. It helped me to learn about scholarship opportunities that are available to me. Those students that I met, gave me the impression that they took pride in their educational experiences and other opportunities at HBCU's. I definitely feel positive about the possibility of attending one of these great institutions of higher learning, know as HBCU's.
