Sponsorship
Today more than ever, an advanced degree is central to a successful career and NBGSA is devoted to helping Black students realize their dreams and achieve future success in academia as well as corporate and non-profit America.
We are delighted with what we have been able to accomplish to date: a history of 21 plus national and regional conferences at which we encourage innovative research in the sciences and humanities, facilitate strong mentorship and recognize leaders. We plan to continue building mutually beneficial relationships with key institutional and corporate partners; and we are excited about taking NBGSA to the next level.
Institutions and organizations like yours provide the critical resources needed to carry out our important work! Our annual graduate/career fair is an excellent opportunity to meet interested undergraduate and Masters students and job candidates with terminal degrees. By participating as a sponsor, you help cultivate tomorrow’s workforce and invest in education today.
