The 28th Annual Honda Campus All-Star Challenge Goes Off Without a Hitch

Hard work really does pay off—the students from 48 Historically Black College and University (HBCU) teams competed in the National Championship of the 28th Annual Honda Campus All-Star Challenge on April 8-12, to wonderful results.

After months of rigorous preparation (which included knowledge acquisition and mastering game strategies) the "Great 48" competed at Honda's Torrance, California campus for top honors, bragging rights, and over $350,000 in institutional grants from Honda. The winning team took home a $75,000 grant, the runner-up received a $30,000 grant, and the third- and fourth-place winners nabbed a $20,000 grant each.

Honda established the Honda Campus All-Star Challenge 28 years ago as a way to recognize and commend the academic talents of HBCU students. The company established the Challenge as a way to test students' knowledge and ability to effectively answer questions about science, literature, world history, religion, popular culture, and the arts. With over 125,000 alumni, the Honda Campus All-Star Challenge has become a fantastic networking opportunity for everyone involved—both past and present.

"The Honda Campus All-Star Challenge is more than a competition of academic excellence; it has fostered a close-knit community that supports the students even after they enter professional life," said Steve Morikawa, Vice President, Corporate Relations and Social Responsibility, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "The 'Great 48' teams represent some of the best and brightest HBCU talent."
