We envision this program to be supplemental, using a pipeline strategy to increase the number of African American Students into these academic and leadership programs

The Advisory Board will be responsible for selection of 20-25 incoming freshmen and sophomores with a 3.3 GPA to in the program for their preparation to apply to the University of Alabama Honors College Program and/or other leadership development programs in the spring Semester.
