Academic Support Pathway
Our goal is to boost academic success and preparedness among Black college students by providing professional guidance.
Sub:Culture Fellows
The program is designed to support college students of color by providing them with opportunities for personal and professional development and a robust web of support for the first few years in college. The program consists of weekly cohort gatherings, weekly leadership, and professional development opportunities, college success seminars, monthly living expense stipends, textbook scholarships, augmented financial aid, and a personal mentor for the entirety of the program.
