Dr. Theresa Price | Bio
Compton, California native and CEO, Dr. Theresa Price founded the National College Resources Foundation (NCRF) a 501c3 non-profit organization in 1999 in a direct response to the passing of California’s Proposition 209 that banned affirmation action programs in California colleges. Since its inception, the organization has secured and distributed more than $1 billion in scholarships & grants and has helped over 500,000 students (over 350,000 first generation students) get into college, hosting over 175 College Expos produced by NCRF, and during the pandemic over 29 virtual college and career expos.
Dr. Price graduated from California State University Long Beach with a bachelor’s degree in Broadcast/Journalism and a minor in Speech Communications, and in 2016 she received an Honorary Doctorate Humane Letters from Virginia University of Lynchburg. After noticing a surge in high school dropout rates, primarily among the underserved and underrepresented students, she was determined to make a difference. As a strong proponent of education and having little resources of her own, Dr. Price set out on a mission to create/find something that would help curtail the high school dropout rate and offer resources that would help underserved, underrepresented, at risk and low resource, homeless and foster students and families. She wanted to give them the hope and the help they needed to have a better chance at success.
With a heart to help and having no idea of the magnitude of what she was about to embark upon, Dr. Price launched the Black College Expo™, a portal providing college resources for as many as would come. Now, 22 years later NCRF is a fully staffed educational enhancement agency based in Southern California providing educational services to schools and groups around the country. In addition, her staff provides the production support, marketing and outreach for the Black College Expo™, a twelve-city tour with a presence in Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, Seattle, Atlanta, DC/Maryland, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, Miami and New York, along with several other California based education driven events including the Latino College Expo™, and Students Think S.T.E.A.M. Expo. Dr. Price’s passion and concern for the future of our youth transcends color, religion, socioeconomic status, and gender. Dr. Price’s outreach stretches beyond the educational system by also hosting exclusive events for athletes, HBCU Football Combine, HBCU Basketball Showcase, and Softball Showcase to help student athlete connect with scholarships to pay for college. In addition, Dr. Price’s S.T.E.A.M. Initiative has spearheaded the building of dedicated Liquid Fuel Rocket Laboratories at colleges to increase innovation in rocketry and space exploration, with the goal to increase diversity in STEAM.
