Scholarship Award History
In 1992, 100 Black Men of the Bay Area, Inc. established the Young Black Scholars Program. Each year, in addition to awards of scholarships and other financial assistance, Bay Area students are provided with mentorship and support throughout their college careers.
The 2024 award of $121K in scholarships is a proud moment for the Chapter. Since the inception of the program in 1992, we have awarded more than $2 Million to over 1000 Bay Area students. We sincerely appreciate your support and the support of our sponsors as we set our sights on reaching our second million in Scholarship Program awards.
