BIG awards $5,000 scholarship to Annapolis High School Student
Thanks to a generous contribution from the Hollins Family Foundation, B.I.G. recently was able to award a $5,000 scholarship to a graduating Anne Arundel County high school student. Working through Scholarships for Scholars, we chose a high-performing student, Colin Hodgson, who had a special interest in promoting literacy. The scholarship was awarded at a ceremony held at St. John's College in Annapolis on April 30, 2025. The grant from the Hollins Family Foundation will allow us to grant scholarships for the next four years.
