Posted By: Wayne II Martin on January 27, 2014 (BLACK PR WIRE) — February 14, 2013 (NEW YORK) — There has been a radical shift in the college search and admissions process thanks to the omnipresence of the internet and social media. Students today are organically embracing their social networks to research, discuss and even apply to their colleges. The African-American community has lagged behind due to the digital divide, which means that many students are unaware of the opportunities for them within Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Not knowing which college to apply to can also shortchange the scholarship application process. In an effort to connect social media with scholarship access and information, two established brands in the social college search and admissions space have partnered to combine resources. HBCU LINKUP, an educational and informational social networking website which features a network of HBCUs in addition to other colleges is connecting with Zinch, a networking site owned by Chegg which allows students to research and begin the recruitment process as well as search and secure scholarships from colleges and universities around the world. “This partnership allows us to not only expand our reach into a broader audience to let more students know about our Member Colleges,” says Alvin Hartley, president of HBCU LINKUP parent company TMI & Partners, LTD. “We will also be able to provide more resources to help our current members pay for college. This is a win across the board.” Current members of HBCU LINKUP will be able to access their new Zinch resources via a badge on the homepage of HBCU LINKUP.com. Both HBCU LINKUP members and current Zinch members will receive ongoing information and promotions relative to the partnership. Read More >>>> http://www.blackprwire.com/press-releases/...
