The Black Issues Forum (BIF) is a five-day intensive summer program for rising high school seniors. This unique program is designed for thoughtful and committed students who want to enhance their leadership potential while discussing relevant issues facing today’s Black community. Students who participate in the Black Issues Forum earn one free CSU credit hour and may be eligible to receive the Partnership Award to attend Colorado State University.
Students who apply and are accepted into BIF are expected to live in the residence halls, engage in research, and personal development workshops at Colorado State University. Students will engage with a multitude of campus resources, including current CSU student mentors, faculty, and staff.
