BDPA Education and Technology Foundation (BETF) is proud to award $500 grant funding to BDPA New York chapter as part of the disbursement of our $25,000 American Honda Foundation grant. BDPA New York chapter earned this funding as a direct result of the college scholarships that they provided to
Cazemba Richards and
Alan Rosales.

| Cazemba and Alan |
Cazemba competed in four (4) National BDPA High School Computer Competition (HSCC) championships between 2007-2010. Alan joined Cazemba in the last three (3) championships between 2008-2010. Both earned Jesse Bemley Scholarships as a result of the high performance by their team in the
2009 HSCC championship held in Raleigh, NC.
The American Honda Foundation grant is partially funding the scholarship that Cazemba is using to study computer science at Clarkson University as well as the scholarship used by Alan to study biomedical engineering at the University of Rochester.
BDPA New York chapter president Renetta English and chapter VP-Finance Wanda Jackson approached BETF for this $500 funding and it was approved within a two weeks. BETF looks forward to helping all 45 local BDPA chapters with
fundraising for their STEM-based programs.
