The student representatives are available to put a face and voice on the college association apportionment in district and conference meetings. Each student has received a scholarship through the 50-year-old association. All funds given to the association are used for student scholarships. Five schools received apportioned funds through the Texas association. Huston-Tillotson and Wiley receive money through the Black College Fund.
