TUITION The Black Business Accelerator Program receives sponsorship from Henrico Economic Development, Chesterfield Economic Development, and the Virginia State University Center for Entrepreneurship, enabling us to offer a low tuition fee of $300 for the full course. Participants in the program have the choice to pay the tuition in full or opt for a two-payment plan, with the full payment due before the course's first day.
Upon the assessment and approval of applications, selected participants will be sent an email containing guidelines for submitting the course tuition. It's important to be aware that our course has limited availability. Please take note that the tuition fee is non-refundable, and a participant's spot will only be confirmed upon the successful completion of full payment. Even if you have received an acceptance notification, payment must be made before the course reaches maximum capacity in order to secure your participation. It's important to emphasize that we are seeking applications only from dedicated and committed business owners.
