Academic Support Pathway
Our goal is to boost academic success and preparedness among Black college students by providing professional guidance.
Sub:Culture Fellows
The Sub:Culture Fellows Program not only supports immediate financial and academic needs but also fosters long-term stability, resilience, and leadership among its fellows. By integrating financial assistance with professional development and emotional intelligence training, we prepare our fellows to thrive in diverse environments and make impactful contributions to society. This holistic approach ensures that our fellows are not only succeeding today but are also empowered to shape a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
