Donors/Donate

This section is dedicated to all of the BATAC alumni and Friends of BATAC who have made it possible for us to award over $40,000 in scholarships to Bay Area students in the past 8 years.  To ensure that some students were able to continue to matriculate at Tuskegee, we have helped pay tuition, buy a meal plan, and pay for books and supplies.

We are honored to have you meet some of our donors and the reasons they continue to support BATAC.  After meeting them, we hope you will desire to be a part of this magnificent team and movement in Northern California.

These students are our future and I want to help them succeed.  I am always so impressed with the dedication and ambition of these students and want them to have the support they need to thrive.

My support of BATAC is due to the encouragement and emotional and financial support they give to Tuskegee students and their family members to ensure students have a grounded future.

Retired Nurse, Tuskegee Graduate

With a legacy of Afro-oppression ever present in our society, Historically Black Colleges and Universities offer a unique growth and development oasis for students of African heritage. Having personally experienced this opportunity at Tuskegee, I continue to support Tuskegee University and the Bay Area Tuskegee Alumni Club. I think BATAC has the potential to serve as a powerful advocate and support for Tuskegee University and its current and future students.

My husband and I support BATAC and Tuskegee students because we want to assist them as they strive for higher e ducation. We want them to have an opportunity to create their own Tuskegee Legacy.  Our Tuskegee Family Legacy spans 5 generations, having begun in 1942 with an uncle and continuing in the 60s, 80s, and now in the 2020's with our son who is due to graduate in architecture this semester.

Morehouse Graduate, Deloitte of Germany, Friend of BATAC

I was a recipient of scholarships throughout my undergraduate studies and know for a fact that I would not have gotten this far in life without them. Therefore, I believe it is only right that I pay forward the opportunities that I was afforded to the next generation of HBCU students.

I support Tuskegee University, first as a dedicated alumnus, Class of 1968, to ensure future generations benefit from this historic institution. Anthony, as an alumnus spouse believes in paying it forward. We wish all the students much success.

I met this handsome guy at the University of Michigan as a sophomore on a Tuskegee sponsored Civil Rights Era student exchange program.  Since our first jobs and as we celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, we have made it a priority to support Tuskegee and its students because of the amazing opportunities Tuskegee made possible for our family.

We desire to help those who need the extra push up the hill.  An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
