We are reaching the halfway point of this semester, but we are not slowing down. This month, the Wildcat Roadtrip makes its return as Bishop State is currently slated to visit 11 high schools, more than double the number of high schools visited last year!

Kicking off the journey is Alma Bryant High School on March 15th. Our dedicated teams in Admissions, Financial Aid, Advising, and Marketing as well as our faculty and staff stand poised to support these students, addressing any obstacles they may encounter in their college application journey!

Students share experience following trip to Disney World through Disney on the Yard

Bishop State students were awarded a trip to Disney World after winning the nationwide Disney on the Yard Innovation Challenge. The competition allowed students at a participating HBCU to showcase their skills and talents to Disney by submitting team projects in response to a Disney project challenge. Our students won, beating colleges and universities from across the nation! Along with a trip to Disney World, they each won a $4,000 scholarship and a $10,000 grant for the college! Congratulations!
