Choosing a college is one of the most important decisions a student will ever make. For those considering a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), the journey is about much more than earning a degree—it is about discovering a legacy, embracing a culture of excellence, and becoming part of a community that has transformed generations of leaders.
​
The Orange County (CA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated is proud to present the HBCU Greenbook—a comprehensive resource created to educate, inspire, and empower students and families as they explore the extraordinary opportunities available at America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
​
Whether you are just beginning your college search, preparing your applications, comparing campuses, or getting ready to move into your residence hall, this guide was designed with you in mind. Inside, you'll find practical information, scholarship resources, college preparation tools, campus life insights, wellness tips, and advice from those who have successfully navigated the HBCU experience.
​
More than a directory, the HBCU Greenbook is a roadmap. It celebrates the rich history and enduring impact of HBCUs while equipping students with the knowledge and confidence to thrive academically, socially, professionally, and personally.
​
For more than seventy-five years, The Links, Incorporated has remained committed to transforming communities through service, education, and leadership. The Orange County (CA) Chapter continues that legacy by investing in the next generation of scholars and leaders. We believe every student deserves access to information, mentorship, and opportunities that can change the trajectory of their lives.
Our hope is that this Greenbook will encourage students to dream boldly, prepare intentionally, and pursue excellence with confidence. Wherever your educational journey leads, remember that success begins with preparation, grows through perseverance, and flourishes when supported by a community that believes in your potential.
