Baltimore Scores in STEM Scholarship

Baltimore Scores in STEM was founded in 2020 by a group of student-athletes at Johns Hopkins University with the goal of supporting Baltimore student-athletes that are pursuing careers in STEM fields. 

Students across the country struggle to afford a college education, and student-athletes, in particular, are forced to sacrifice a great deal of time for their sport that could be spent working to help bridge this financial gap. Beyond this, student-athletes in underprivileged communities, like many student-athletes in Baltimore, face additional challenges in pursuing their aspirations of a college education.

Over half of the student population at Baltimore City Public Schools comes from low-income households, exacerbating this issue of college unaffordability. Furthermore, nearly 90% identify as Black or Hispanic, groups that are traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields. Taken together, these factors indicate that many capable students are less likely to have the encouragement and opportunity to pursue a STEM education.

For the past two years, B'more Scores has  awarded a scholarship to aspiring STEM students from Baltimore. With your generous donations, we are able to ensure that more students can pursue their education in STEM.
