Longtime Ravens' personnel executive and Pro Football Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome will be honored by Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and his wife, Renee, with a $4 million gift in his name to Historically Black Colleges and Universities in Maryland.
The Ozzie Newsome Scholars Program will give a gift of $1 million to each Maryland HBCU: Bowie State University, Coppin State University, Morgan State University, and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, funded through the Renee Bisciotti Foundation.
This program will begin in the 2022-23 school year and each Maryland HBCU will select five Baltimore City Public School graduates who will attend a Maryland HBCU as Ozzie Newsome Scholars for its incoming freshman class each spring.
