about the hbcu scholarship ride

---

The HBCU Scholarship Ride began in 2020, when founder Hassan Abdus-Sabur rallied a few fellow cyclists around a simple but powerful vision: ride from Newark to Washington D.C. to raise scholarship funds for graduating students from the City of Newark. 

What started as a bold ride of purpose quickly grew into a movement—uniting community, culture, and commitment.

Since that first 225+ mile journey to Howard University, the Ride has raised thousands of dollars, empowered local students, and inspired a growing network of supporters who believe in investing in the next generation of HBCU leaders.
