Program Summary

The Development Fund for Black Students in Science and Technology (DFBSST) was founded in 1983. Since its inception, DFBSST has provided over $650,000 in scholarships to more than 225 students pursuing an education in science and technology. One hundred ninety-four (194) of these students have already graduated. DFBSST scholars cover a broad spectrum of technical disciplines (i.e., aerospace, civil, chemical, mechanical, electrical engineering; architecture, astrophysics, biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics). Several of our scholarship recipients have obtained Ph.D. degrees in engineering, astronomy and other advanced graduate degrees.

Aside from awarding scholarships, DFBSST sets aside a portion of its revenue into an endowment fund. The long-range goal of the fund is to build an endowment of 1 million dollars.
