2021 RAVENS SCHOLARS

For the 12th-consecutive year, five outstanding Baltimore-area high school seniors who displayed remarkable academic achievement, extra-curricular participation and community service were selected as the 2021 Ravens Scholars. Funded by the Ravens Foundation, Inc., the scholarship program enables local youth to continue their education on the collegiate level. The team has a long-standing history of service to local communities, and this fund helps support those who exhibit the same commitment. Applications were accepted from students who attend public schools in Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Carroll County, areas where the Ravens operate training facilities, maintain offices and hold youth football camps.

The following students received scholarships:

Angelica Brooks, a graduate of Baltimore School for the Arts High School, will attend Johns Hopkins University. Jamira Collins, a graduate of Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women, will attend Northeastern University. Oluwasefunmi Oluwafemi, a graduate of Western High School, will attend Bucknell University with the goal of becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon. Sarah Rad, a graduate of Baltimore City College High School, will attend the University of Maryland, College Park where she plans to study elementary education. Shantika Bhat, a graduate of Baltimore Polytechnic Institute High School, will attend Johns Hopkins University, where she will study neuroscience.
