Upcoming Events
The Indianapolis Black Alumni Council, Inc. is cordially inviting seniors like you to participate in their 44th Annual HBCU College Scholarship Opportunity Network on Friday morning, October 6, 2023, from 9:00am – 12:00pm at Crispus Attucks High School.
The Scholarship Opportunity Network event is an amazing opportunity to meet with college representatives from HBCUs about admissions and scholarships. At times, students have been admitted and/or received scholarship offers on the spot!
Ms. Imani and Mrs. Newman will be driving a group of 28 seniors to Crispus Attucks High School that morning to take part in this event. If you are interested in attending, please sign up with one of those counselors as soon as possible so they can put your name on the Brebeuf Jesuit attendee list and have you fill out a registration form.
Students are to dress in business casual attire for the event. In addition, students are to bring copies of their resume and transcript. We will provide copies of your transcript.

Attention Seniors
When it comes to choosing an essay topic, there are certainly topics that are much more common that may put admissions officers into skimming mode pretty quickly.
I've got a lot to say about this topic, so I'm excited to share a new YouTube video with you:
