BETF provided an $850 grant to support the Student Information Technology Education & Scholarship (SITES) program implemented by BDPA Greater Columbia chapter.
The funds helped the high school computer competition (HSCC) team trained by BDPA Greater Columbia to participate in the Southeast Regional Competition. The three students on the team (Dominique Geiger, Sami Patel, Raven Stevenson and Courtland Thomas) took home the silver medal at the regional event in Charlotte NC.
Later the team travelled to Raleigh NC to compete in the national championships. The team finished in 19th place.
However, an unexpected serendipity happened at the Awards Gala during the confer
ence. The United States Navy offered a $180,000 scholarship for Raven Stevenson to study biomedical engineering at Duke University!Please call BETF on (513) 284-4968 or email us if you want to make a tax-deductible pledge in support of the restricted Greater Columbia Chapter Fund.
