The Mary L. Stone Black College Tour has provided more than 2,600 students with a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
While most participants live in southwestern Pennsylvania, some have come from as far as Minnesota and California to take the tour. Participants from more than 40 area public, parochial, private and charter high schools have enrolled in and graduated from a wide range of colleges, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). As well, a number of students and parents have returned to volunteer in various capacities.
