"I have had the honor of being involved with the HNBF for over a decade and have seen firsthand the enormous contribution the HNBF has made in the lives of hundreds of high school students from across the United States through the HNBF’s pipeline programs. Programs that encourage collaboration, education, and experiences. Through the HNBF’s efforts our diverse students are encouraged to strive for more, push themselves and dream. The success of the HNBF’s programs speak for themselves and is why the mission of the HNBF must continue."

"It was not difficult for me to want to become a part of the HNBF. Everything I have is the result of my education. Joining an organization with a stated mission to ‘help students achieve their potential through access to higher education’ was a very easy decision for me."
