FAMU Wins 5th National Title in Honda Campus All-Star Challenge
ORLANDO, Fla.
The Florida A&M University Rattlers slithered past the competition here last month to clinch the 5th national championship at the 2003 Honda Campus All-Star Challenge (HCASC), an academic competition for the best and brightest students at historically Black colleges and universities.
Nearly 100 HBCU presidents, educators, alumni and community volunteers observed as more than 320 college students from 64 HBCUs competed in the three-day tournament for more than $300,000 in institutional grants. FAMU quickly and accurately answered 10-point “toss-up” questions and 20-30 point bonus questions in several disciplines to win a two-out-of-three game series against South Carolina State University.
