AWARDS

The Basketball Academy’s partners and sponsors have traditionally awarded approximately $8,000 in scholarships to deserving students annually. The awards are offered in the following categories:

  • Individual outstanding player awards for a player from each team.
  • Basketball Academy Partner Scholarships – A designated monetary amount is provided to each of the three academy partners (100 Black Men of Maryland, Baltimore City Public Schools System and B.M.A.C. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.) at the end of the event. Each partner can award the scholarship to a designated recipient based on their organizations specific criteria.
  • Scholar Athlete Award – $200 savings bond is awarded to 1 individual from each participating team (total of 20 awards). The Head Coach of each high school nominates the recipient.
