National College Resources Foundation’s (NCRF) Founder Dr. Theresa Price appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show sharing with the world about National College Resources Foundation and the impact it has around the nation.
Today, Dr. Price made the announcement that some would consider world changing, especially for students in California. NCRF’s Founder Dr. Price met with college presidents of two private universities to bring the first HBCU to California. The two presidents, Dr. Melva Wallace of Huston-Tillotson University (HTU) and Dr. Pardis Mahdavi of University of La Verne (ULV) have been in a series of meetings with Dr. Price and the three have put together a historic deal with Huston-Tillotson University and University of La Verne to bring the first HBCU to California. The HBCU will launch this summer and the HBCU will be on University of La Verne’s Ontario campus. ULV has 7 campuses throughout Southern California. HTU will also have a campus in San Diego through NCRF’s partnership with San Diego County Office of Education.
“I have been asked for years by California residents to please bring an HBCU to California. Students have yearned for an HBCU Experience in California. So, I got together with my sisters Dr. Wallace and Dr. Mahdavi and we are making it happen! We are so excited to be able to bring the HBCU Experience to California,” says Dr. Price.
National College Resources Foundation has helped over 600,000 students and currently offers a dual enrollment program with HBCUs that is free for high school students 9th-12th grade, college transfer students and adult learners.
