We are all aware of the crisis of Black men matriculating and graduating from college. The Blueprint, Black Male Enrichment Program aims to help them navigate this environment. “The Blueprint” is a 12-week program designed to aid them in various aspects of collegiate development. The program focuses on helping the young men achieve success in six identified areas: academics, peer/ professional etiquette, spiritual growth, physical, emotional, and mental well-being. The incentive that drives their engagement in the program is a $1000 scholarship and the purchase of a business suit. The scholarship is awarded to the individual male who demonstrates the most significant development during the course of the program.
