The Common Black College Application (CBCA) allows students to apply to all CBCA Member Institutions at the same time. The completion of the CBCA significantly increases the educational options of students by allowing them to receive acceptance letters, financial aid packages and scholarship offers from several different colleges. To date, over 150,000 students have completed the CBCA. The following is a draft of how the CBCA can be used with Sigma Beta Clubs nationally.

2) The completion of the CBCA significantly increases the educational options of students by allowing them to receive acceptance letters, financial aid packages and scholarship offers from several different colleges.

5) Chapters are able to Sponsor 50 students for $750 and $10 for each additional student up to 100.
6) After the first 100 student applications have been completed, you have the option of either purchasing additional applications as detailed previously in step 5, or sponsoring an unlimited number of student applications for $20 per student.
