Scholarship Recipients
Since the inception of our non profit in February, and our official launch in September of 2020, our organization goal was to award students with financial assistance as they pursue an engineering degree at UMD. We have received an overwhelming amount of support, sponsorships and donations that have exceeded our expectations. We are excited to highlight recipients of The BTX Legacy Award.

This also helps show the students I mentor that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. I'd like to thank the BTX Foundation for this awesome scholarship and the work they are doing in the Black community and the University of Maryland community.”
