Hi, challengers!

The Partnerships Track is now open! Now is the time to start planning and reaching out to potential partner organizations. There is a list of contact information for organizations that have expressed interested in partnering with HBCUs in the Resources section. You are welcome to reach out to organizations on the list as well as those not on the list. Organizations interested in being added to the resource partner contact list should fill out the Resource Partner Interest Form located in the Resources section. These organizations will be invited to present at a webinar in early October to share more information with competitors. Lastly, competitors and interested partner organizations are encouraged to register for the Partnerships Track informational webinar on Sep. 19, 2023, at 1 p.m. ET. Presenters will discuss the track’s phases, submission requirements, and deadlines, and there will also be an opportunity for Q&A. 

Please refer to the official rules document for instructions for competing in this track. If you have any questions, please email .
