About Black Student Success

Black Student Success (BSS) empowers students through community, mentorship, academic support, and resources that promote success in college and beyond.

What We Do

We help students navigate college with confidence by providing:

  • Academic Support — Guidance with educational planning, enrollment, and success strategies.
  • Community & Mentorship — Opportunities to connect with peers, mentors, and campus community.
  • Resources & Connections — Access to scholarships, programs, and services that support student success.

Our goal is to make sure every Black student has the tools and support needed to achieve their goals.
