Arrow Collegiate Tour

For more than two decades, Arrow Collegiate Tour has been sponsoring College Tours to some of the most prestigious Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) on the east coast. In addition to our week-long Spring Break Tour, we also sponsor day trips to select colleges and universities, throughout the year. Our tours have also included partnerships with churches and school systems.

We look to coordinate day trips, during special occasions, like “Open Houses” and “College Days,” for many of the select schools on our list, so that students can get the full experience by seeing all that the schools have to showcase (including degree-programs, athletics, pep rallies,
Greek life and a highlight of extracurricular activities).

Our buses originate from the DC/Maryland/Virginia (DMV) region of the country and travel, as far as, Tallahassee and Orlando, Florida, during the Spring Break Tour. As new college tours are scheduled, we update our website. Please take a moment to review our section on Upcoming Tours and to register and pay for your student(s). For our overnight trips, we offer a mandatory Parent Orientation to provide an overview of the tour, review safety rules and regulations, address concerns and answer questions. The trips are designed to:

• provide exposure to college campus life;
• introduce students to Admissions and Financial Aid Counselors;
• give the students an opportunity for On-the-Spot Admissions (with required
paperwork); and
• provide a comprehensive, but memorable, experience, to assist each student with making the decision on the school that is right for them.

Our Spring Break Tour is typically scheduled in conjunction with the calendar for Prince George’s County, Maryland schools, but students are invited to participate from around the country and download our form for Excused Absence for educational purposes. We will also provide dates for Scholarship Workshops, to assist parents and students with meeting the financial obligations of college.

Testimonial

Thank you for giving my Girl Scout Troop members the time of their lives! We decided to distribute your Spring Break HBCU College Tour flyer to our whole troop of 16 and 17 yr-olds. They were excited about visiting the schools in North Carolina, Atlanta and Florida. The moms and I stayed in touch, throughout the week, excited for our girls and their experience. When they returned, they had brand new insight on college life and were all charged up! Now, it’s full speed ahead, as we prepare them for freshman year as college students. We cannot thank you enough.
