On a recent episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” a powerful conversation unfolded between Jennifer Hudson and Dr. Theresa Price, the founder and CEO of the National College Resources Foundation (NCRF). Dr. Price, a champion for educational equity, shared her organization’s remarkable journey in transforming the lives of over 600,000 students.
The NCRF, established by Dr. Price, has been a beacon of hope for countless individuals from underserved and underrepresented communities seeking access to higher education. Their dedication to reducing high school dropout rates and increasing college enrollment has yielded exceptional results.
During the interview, Dr. Price shed light on the organization’s philosophy, emphasizing the importance of empowering young people beyond just providing them with resources.
The conversation also touched upon the NCRF’s recent groundbreaking announcement: the establishment of California’s first Historically Black College and University (HBCU). This historic development will provide students within the state with the unique academic and cultural experience offered by HBCUs, further expanding educational opportunities.
