Education

To celebrate the inaugural sailing of Homecoming: The Cruise '26, Signature Cruise Experiences (SCE) has launched the NHBCUAA Homecoming: The Cruise Scholarship program. In 2026, SCE will award more than $200,000 as follows:

NATIONAL HBCU
ALUMNI ALLIANCE
(NHBCUAA)
The HBCU with the highest number of booked alumni and current students on Homecoming: The Cruise '26 will receive funds that are directly donated to the winning university. These funds must be used on a student scholarship. When booking your cabin, please indicate the college or university you attended to ensure credit towards this scholarship.

Additionally, SCE and the NHBCUAA have established a separate brand-new scholarship to support students and institutions. The application portal is now open at hbcualumni.org.
NATIONAL
PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL (THE DIVINE NINE)
The Divine Nine fraternity and sorority that books the most guests on Homecoming: The Cruise '26 will each receive a donation designated for a student scholarship. These funds will be sent to the national chapters of the winning fraternity and sorority (two scholarships in total) on behalf of the NHBCUAA and Homecoming: The Cruise. Please remember to indicate your Divine Nine membership during the booking process to ensure that your membership is credited toward this scholarship.

SCE
EMERGING MUSICIAN SCHOLARSHIP
SCE is excited to announce the SCE Emerging Musician Scholarship, aimed at supporting talented young musicians. The selected 2025 recipient will receive a one-time scholarship to further their musical education, along with the opportunity to perform on Homecoming: The Cruise '26. This experience will offer invaluable exposure and personal growth. For more information on how to apply and the eligibility requirements, please click HERE.
