Summary

 All-Inclusive Components

For over 10 years, students from across California have experienced the premiere all-inclusive HBCU tour experience designed by Dr. Karen McCord. 

Dr. McCord is an NAACP Educator and Teacher of the year Award winner, author and frequent speaker on Women's Empowerment, and Civil Rights matters ensuring students get a great deal more knowledge and mentoring during their tour. 

We work to ensure our students learn a great deal about their financial options, meet with key people at each campus and leave with  a real feel for what their college experience could be and how to make it happen

​This is not your average Historically Black College and University tour!

             All Heritage Empowered Tours 
                                     Include:
​

• Hotels,
• 3 meals a day,
• Snacks,
• Luxury motor coach transportation
• Scholarship and financial aid counseling
• Campus tours
• Commemorative T-shirt.

Attention California Community Colleges:

Heritage Empowered recognizes and conforms to the current travel restrictions imposed by the State. The State of California has restricted travel to several states preventing any California State organization from using State of California funds to travel to restricted travel states.  

​
​

This is how we support our HBCU Tour travelers:

Students will visit top HBCU’s and additional historic landmarks.

• Students will hear from other students who have successfully transferred.
• Students will meet with admissions officers
• Students will see the campus and community to help them make an informed decision
• Hear from HBCU graduates.  
• Students will learn about the people and events that began and continue the struggle for freedom and equality in the United States of America today.  
• Students may have the application fee waived for multiple HBCU by completing the “Free Common Application”.

This trip has made me feel privileged as an African American to get the opportunity to leave California and visit great states while being in college."  Jasmine Holden

With HBCU enrollment on the rise, graduates from historically Black colleges and universities — share their unique experiences while offering advice to incoming students.
