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 2022 award of $125,800 in scholarships is a proud moment for the Chapter. Since our inception in 1992, we have awarded more than $1,9 Million to more than 800 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.
