Our ‘Women Leading with Heart’ series for Women’s History Month closes powerfully with the return of Dr. Theresa Price, CEO and Founder of The National College Resources Foundation (NCRF) - home of the renowned Black College Expo and Latino College Expo. This beloved community trailblazer shares her philosophy and secrets to living and investing in a spiritually filled life. She believes being smart is not enough, but being overprepared and well-rounded can ensure you thrive in a world not designed for everyone’s success. Find out how you can thrive with NCRF’s holistic wraparound services, student-athlete programs, financial literacy, and transfer portal tips that have unlocked over $200 million in scholarships for students just like you! College scholarships are waiting and Dr. Price urges all “creatives” to apply now! Dr. Price completed her Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast/Journalism with a minor in Speech Communications at California State University, Long Beach. In 2016, she received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Virginia University of Lynchburg. After noticing a surge in high school dropout rates, primarily among the underserved and underrepresented students, she was determined to make a difference. Since NCRF's inception, this Compton native’s organization has secured and distributed more than $5 billion in scholarships & grants and has helped over 700,000 students (over two-thirds first generation students) get into college, hosting over 300 College Expos produced by NCRF. In addition to The Black College Expo™, a fifteen-city U.S. tour, NCRF also offers the Latino College Expo™, and the Students Think S.T.E.A.M. Expo. In 2022, Dr. Price worked with HBCU presidents to launch a dual enrollment program for high school students to get college credits.
