The Malcolm Bernard Historically Black Colleges and Universities College Fair is a non-profit, volunteer organization that partners with community and state agencies to introduce a multitude of students, eager to learn about higher education opportunities, to college admissions representatives from the campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The Malcolm Bernard HBCU College Fair of New Jersey strives to be recognized by students, parents, legislatures, community leaders and educators as one of the premier events of its nature.
Along with face-to-face interaction, students had the opportunity to be admitted onsite with their completed application package, an official transcript, and ACT/SAT scores that met the minimum requirement for schools they plan on pursuing.
