Jay-Z’s Shawn Carter Foundation is teaming up with Toyota for their annual Historically Black College & University bus tour. This year the students will tour 11 different HBCUs.

The tour has kicked off in Georgia, starting with Morehouse College and Spelman College. Since the tour beginning in 2007, the Shawn Carter Foundation has helped teenagers from 125 schools get into various college prep courses. The foundation also gives new students the opportunity to speak with college counselors and past scholars who’ve participated in the program.
