Our Programs
Black College Tours
Featured on CBS and ABC television, as well as in the Los Angeles Times and Essence magazine, Educational Student Tour’s Black College Tours program provides a unique opportunity to experience first-hand some of our finest historically black colleges and universities. While on tour, students will discover a climate of support in which generations of students have been taught that no one can limit their educational goals or career choices.
College Access Program (CAP)
Finding your dream HBCU is the easy part of the college-going process. Finding money to pay for college can be a challenge, but EST will be there with you every step of the way. Over the years, we have helped hundreds of students get outside scholarships, including four year, full-ride scholarships. However, students must understand that the scholarship search process does not start when you receive your admissions offer. It begins the summer before your senior year.
The deadline to apply is September 30 of every year.
