Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti honors ex-GM Ozzie Newsome with $4M gift for scholarships at Maryland HBCUs
OWINGS MILLS, Md. Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti had been searching for a way to properly salute Ozzie Newsome since he stepped down as the team s general manager three years ago.
Bisciotti came up with an idea that not only impacts the lives of Baltimore students but also touches on Newsome s childhood.
Bisciotti told ESPN that he and his wife are making a $4 million gift in Newsome s name to Maryland s historically Black colleges and universities. The Ozzie Newsome Scholars Program will fund scholarships for Baltimore City Public Schools graduates who attend an HBCU in Maryland.
