Application fees are often one of the biggest barriers in keeping prospective students from applying to colleges and universities they’re interested in attending. The Common Black College Application aims to change that. Founded in 1998 by Virginia State University alum Robert Mason to help break the cycle of poverty, CBCA has been used by over 250,000 students to date and approximately 97% of those have been accepted to at least one member institution (CBCA). They are college application platform that only requires a one time application fee of $20. Students will then have applied to the 65 HBCUs currently on the platform as opposed to only a few.
This opens students up to opportunities they may not know existed because there was a chance they would have applied to that institution in the first place. For more information and to see the list of institutions partnered with the platform, head to CommonBlackCollegeApp.com.
