Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were born out of the need for African Americans to pursue a post-high school education when the doors of most American collegiate institutions were closed to them.
These HBCUs also provided an avenue for high school athletes to continue their pursuit of excellence through competition.
HBCU football programs continue to play a vital role in the academic and athletic development of their athletes but remain on the fringe of mainstream American collegiate football.
The Historically Black College or University (HBCU) scholarship programs are fully qualified scholarship programs designed to meet officer production requirements and enhance enrollment at HBCUs.

Start the application process for either the Regular or Enhanced HBCU scholarship program by contacting the Air Force ROTC detachment » at the school you designate.
