About Us

The HBCU Africa Education Coalition (HAEC)

HAEC aims to eliminate the disparity of access to study-abroad opportunities on the continent of Africa and its Diaspora. Through the 100,000 Strong Africa Initiative, the Coalition will leverage a Pan African Study Abroad Model to facilitate access to improve study abroad opportunities among students of African descent.

  • Studying abroad in Ghana through HAEC was an enriching experience that broadened my cultural horizons and deepened my understanding of global education. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to HAEC's mission of eliminating disparities in study abroad access for students of African descent.

  • HAEC's study abroad program in Africa provided me with invaluable insights into cross-cultural communication and global competencies. The Pan African Study Abroad Model guided me through a transformative journey of academic and personal growth, paving the way for a more inclusive and interconnected future.

  • Thanks to HAEC, I had the privilege to participate in a study abroad exchange program in Ghana, where I immersed myself in language learning and cultural immersion. This experience not only expanded my academic horizons but also fostered lifelong connections and a deeper appreciation for the African Diaspora.
