Up to 30 Black boys from years nine, 10 and 11 will attend a two-day residential course next month that will offer guidance and information on attending the university.
The charity is inviting applications from schools, parents or boys themselves for places on the course, which is backed by the Oxford Access Scheme.
The second day of the course will be open to parents so they can find out how they can support their children if they attend Oxford.
Henroy Green, PR director for the National Black Boys Can Association, said: "Our research shows that a lot of Black boys do have the potential to go to Oxford.
