A higher education is a key to getting a better life and having more opportunities opened for the future. But as we all know, the price for gaining a good education is high and sometimes unaffordable. That's why the United Negroe College Fund is there to help students some help along the way. Each year, the UNCF raises funds to send deserving students to top colleges and universities across the country. The students spotlighted this year have amazing stories of triumph over adversity to reach their goals of a priceless education.


Tonight the UNCF will air its 34th Annual telecast which will features unforgettable performances from Melanie Fiona, Faith Evans, Keyshia Cole,and Tyrese Gibson among others while honoring deserving students for their achievements.

The UNCF: An Evening of Stars airs tonight on BET at 10pm EST.
