For Students and Families: Before the College Journey Begins
For African American students attending predominantly white institutions, support is essential at every stage of the college journey. These students often face gaps created by systems never originally designed with their success in mind. Those gaps can turn into real barriers—academic, social, and emotional. NEP provides the guidance needed to navigate those challenges with confidence, clarity, and a solid plan for success.

For Universities and Institutions of Higher Learning: Improving the College Journey
Campus Climate Audits & Equity Scorecards - 15 Hours
Our Equity Scorecard and Climate Audit help colleges move beyond surface-level diversity. We deliver a culturally grounded, data-driven evaluation of campus life, policies, safety, and support systems—giving you clear, actionable steps to close equity gaps and build lasting change.
We design educational programs and materials that center the experiences, histories, and contributions of African American students. Our approach ensures that curricula are not only academically rigorous but also culturally responsive, fostering identity, representation, and engagement in learning. By integrating culturally grounded content, we help schools and organizations create inclusive learning environments where students see themselves reflected, feel valued, and are empowered to succeed.
Culturally Grounded Curriculum Development
Frameworks from Beyond the Degree
Universities and educational institutions carry a responsibility to strengthen their systems so they genuinely support the cultural needs of all students, including African American students. Despite our nation’s complicated history, the work of repairing inequities cannot be delayed. Institutions must commit to learning how to teach every student who walks through their doors—and to doing so in ways that students can truly receive, understand, and thrive from. NEP stands ready to help institutions meet that responsibility with integrity and purpose.
Equity & Climate Audits
Beyond the Degree introduces two actionable frameworks designed to guide institutions in supporting African American students from college preparation through leadership development. These frameworks provide a structured approach for creating equitable, empowering educational environments, helping institutions improve student outcomes, enhance representation, and strengthen pathways to professional and leadership success. By applying these models, schools and organizations can translate research and best practices into measurable impact.
