The Honda 'Drive the Legacy' initiative is aimed at advancing the company’s long-term commitment to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Building on a relationship that has positively impacted over 300,000 students and provided more than $14 million in grants since 1989, this initiative focuses on four key pillars:
Educational and Career Opportunities: Providing scholarships, internships, and career development programs.
Program and Infrastructure Support: Enhancing educational facilities and resources.
Outreach and Advocacy: Partnering with organizations like the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to support HBCU initiatives.
Unique Experiences: Celebrating HBCU culture through events and immersive experiences, including Honda Campus All-Star Challenge and Honda Battle of the Bands.
Through 'Drive the Legacy,' Honda continues to support the unique and critical role of HBCUs in providing higher education and opportunities for advancement to the Black community. This initiative serves as the foundation for new opportunities for students and the HBCU community.
