HDMH SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Marcus Stroman and the HDMH Foundation want to change the game when it comes to creating educational opportunities for those in need. The mission behind this unique scholarship program is to inspire candidates that they can achieve any dream if they put their mind to it.

OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The HDMH Foundation Scholarship Program is designed to provide students in need of financial support the opportunity to take part in higher education. This is of utmost importance to Marcus, one of only a handful of professional baseball players with a four-year college degree. Our program addresses the financial needs of college students and provides not only financial support but extensive, hands-on mentoring and support services.

Our HDMH Scholars will receive a generous grant, issued on a year-to-year basis, to attend the undergraduate school of their choice. Our program helps students effectively navigate their college environments, explore career options, develop leadership skills, embrace a commitment to service, and never forget their educational success is measured by both their passion and dedication to hard work. The program also promotes rising above circumstances and pursuing dreams while focusing on positively impacting others’ lives, values that have guided Marcus on his impressive path to success as a professional athlete.

HDMH Foundation Scholarships are awarded to outstanding high school graduates who plan to earn a baccalaureate degree from an accredited, four-year college or university.
