Bucks fans can take advantage of a special HBCU Night ticket package that includes a ticket to that night’s game and a pregame HBCU alumni networking event at GATHER in Deer District. Packages start at $41 for upper-level tickets and $61 for lower-level tickets and include entry to the pregame networking event.

In advance of HBCU Night, the Bucks and Johnson Controls are also introducing a $4,000 renewable scholarship for a STEM-focused high school senior based in Milwaukee that’s planning to attend an HBCU in Fall 2022. Nominations are open now through Feb. 15 and can be made HERE. Nominators may be any member of a school faculty, staff, parents, or an adult in a student’s life.
