Programs

B.E.T.A.A.

The Program's objectives are to recruit Black students who are in need of financial and academic support and provide a support system that offers career advisement, mentoring and leadership training.  The B.E.T.A.A. Scholarship is awarded to students who best meet the eligibility criteria.
