Components of the Showcase

The Showcase of HBCU is a college and career preparation program that consists of
5 STUDENT COMPONENTS and 2 PARENT COMPONENTS.

PARENT COMPONENTS

As parents or guardians of college-bound students, you play an integral role in navigating choices as your child prepares for college. We recognize that deciding which college to attend is often a family decision. Education First Foundation’s mission is to make education a household priority. We hope to assist in making your child’s dream a reality.

The Urban Jazz Exchange and the Achievement Gap Luncheon and Parent Engagement Program provide opportunities for parents to participate in the college bound process.

Urban Jazz Exchange

The Urban Jazz Exchange is a networking reception that allows college representatives to meet and interact with counselors, educators, parents, and youth organizations in an environment away from the students.
