About the Book

Black Family Guide

Finding the right college is a challenge for all students. But Black families face additional challenges and questions while navigating the admissions process.

Tim Fields and Shereem Herdon-Brown

In The Black Family's Guide to College Admissions, Timothy L. Fields and Shereem Herndon-Brown share provocative insights and demystify this complex process to answer important questions from where to apply to how to get in.

"A unique, refreshing, and much-needed resource from two admission insiders. This book is a tremendously valuable guide for Black students and their families as they seek to make informed decisions, ask astute questions, and ultimately select the best college for them."

—Rick Clark, Assistant Vice Provost / Executive Director of Undergraduate Admission, Georgia Institute of Technology, coauthor of The Truth about College Admission.

About the Workshop

CONNECTdmv will present a workshop, Show Me the Money - How to Strategize for Financial Aid and Scholarships. College tuition expenses are increasing much faster than standard inflation and it is almost making it impossible to afford a college education. Join Keith Wilkerson of CollegeThoughts to learn about how to access financial aid and scholarships in a post-pandemic world, what you can do now to put yourself in the best position, and to get your questions answered about the next steps for you and your family. In less than an hour, you could learn all you need to cash in, so don’t miss it!
