The SNIPES Pay It Forward initiative is a nationwide campaign to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The initiative is part of SNIPES' commitment to giving back to the community and investing in the future of HBCUs and their graduates. Through this program, SNIPES aims to provide opportunities for underrepresented communities and empower the next generation of leaders by supporting education and creating a platform for important conversations. This Homecoming season, SNIPES has selected North Carolina A&T State University to partner with for the Pay It Forward Initiative and provide (5) $5,000 scholarships to students at the school.
