The NBA HBCU Fellowship Program, aims to provide career development opportunities in the business of basketball for undergraduate and graduate students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Fellows are selected by NBA teams and the league office to work within a variety of departments, including ticket sales, corporate partnerships, IT, social responsibility, and marketing.

Year to year HBCU Fellows were welcomed with a two day orientation at the NBA offices. Fellows are provided the opportunity to learn about the business of basketball, engage in career development and leadership opportunities, and connect with NBA executives.

The Fellowship is a paid 10-week summer internship program that runs from June-August. Applications for the 2025 application are now closed.
