Last week, Fellows gathered at the NBA offices in New York City for kickoff as they prepare to begin an incredible summer experience across NBA teams and the league office.

Out of more than 10,000 applicants, just 70 students were selected for this year’s cohort.

Throughout the fellowship, participants will gain hands-on experience across departments including marketing, corporate partnerships, legal, social responsibility, ticket sales, and more — building skills, expanding networks, and exploring pathways to leadership in sports and business.

We are proud to see these talented Fellows represent the future of leadership.

Join us in congratulating the 2026 NBA HBCU Fellows! 👏🏾💙
