The NorthSTAR program supports the educational and professional aspirations of African American men at the University of North Georgia. NorthSTAR was developed to help forward the University System of Georgia’s African American Male Initiative (AAMI), which is committed to significantly increasing the graduation rates and number of degrees conferred upon African American men.
NorthSTAR leverages the resources to provide African American men with identity development, cultural guardianship and experiential learning opportunities.
Application details for fall 2023 will be updated here when available.

Our mission is to support and cultivate a community of scholars and develop them as leaders and change agents in their respective fields. NorthSTAR aims to fulfill AAMI’s mission to provide a program model of academic and social instruments that allow students to successfully matriculate through the completion of their classes and elevate their semester and cumulative GPAs leading to graduation from the University of North Georgia.
