Chevrolet's Discover the Unexpected Program Concludes

The 2019 Discover the Unexpected (DTU) program concluded its 8-week road trip sponsored by Chevrolet in partnership with the National Newspaper Publisher Association.

Six HBCU students were selected as DTU fellows, and each received a $10,000 scholarship and a $5,000 stipend. During this remarkable journey, the fellows traveled in the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Blazer as part of their reporting assignments.


Recently, the fellows traveled to General Motors World Headquarters in Detroit for the culmination of the program. During this ceremony, the fellows received their $10,000 scholarships and certificates of completion. DTU Advisor Fonzworth Bentley (Morehouse College); DTU Ambassador; DJ Envy (Hampton University); and publishers from the NNPA were also in attendance during this celebratory event.
