Being accepted into an HBCU is a great honor; allowing for students to be in an environment that provides a connection to black history, celebrates black culture, and offers outstanding programs. Although HBCUs are well known for making college accessible for low-income students, the cost of attending continues to be a roadblock for potential students.
   
  In an effort to support these students, AffordableCollegesOnline.org has created a guide that lists 50 scholarships available for HBCU students, how to land them, and where to find more information."
