HBCU Students Battle in Academic National Championship

Honda - HBCU InfographicBrainpower from America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) will be on full display beginning this weekend at the 26th annual Honda Campus All-Star Challenge (HCASC) National Championship Tournament.  Students representing the very best and brightest have spent the school year diligently preparing and qualifying to compete in the national championship of this unique academic tournament, to be held March 21-25, 2015 on the campus of American Honda in Torrance, California.

This year’s road to the championship began in the fall, with 76 HBCUs vying for the final 48 slots. Through countless hours of study, drills and practice, elite teams emerged, knowledgeable and ready to take on the competition. See the full list of participating HBCUs.

“Each student that qualifies for the ‘Great 48’ is a champion in his or her own right,” said Steve Morikawa, Assistant Vice President of Corporate Community Relations at American Honda.  “Honda is proud to welcome this year’s class into an exceptional community of HCASC alumni that comes together each year to celebrate academic excellence.”     


The 2015 finals will be live-streamed on Monday, March 23rd starting at 12:00pm Eastern on HCASC.com.  Connect with HCASC via social media for updates on Facebook (www.facebook.com/HCASC) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/HCASC), using #HCASC.

About Honda Campus All-Star Challenge:
Celebrating HBCU excellence, Honda Campus All-Star Challenge is one of Honda’s largest and longest running philanthropic initiatives in the United States.  Since 1989, the program has awarded more than $7.5 million in grants to participating HBCUs, impacting the lives of over 100,000 students across 22 states.  Through programs like HCASC, Honda is not only helping students academically, but building them up for the future, helping position them for career success.  HCASC’s impressive roster of past participants includes engineers, lawyers, doctors and professors.  A number of high profile former HCASC participants have been inducted into the HCASC Hall of Fame, including Clark Atlanta University alumnus and ESPN anchor, Bomani Jones, who participated in two HCASC competitions between 1999 and 2001, serving as team captain in 2001.
