List of Participating HBCUs

The following HBCUs are institutions that have confirmed their participation in the 2025 program. Majority of them will bring a student team to compete in business plan competition and some will only send their deans and presidents/chancellors. We are also waiting for confirmations from several other universities.

The program will invite and cover the costs of event registration, travel (air/car), hotel, and meals for all students (up to five), one faculty advisor, one dean, and the president/chancellor. If any school wishes to bring additional students, faculty members, and deans, the school will be responsible for covering the actual cost of the additional participants.
