The founder, Matthew Reeds created this scholarship in honor of his mother Roxanne Reeds, who is also the namesake of the scholarship. She is a first-generation college student, and a graduate of Baltimore’s Coppin State University. A lifelong educator, Reeds is also the adoptive mother of Matthew’s younger sister, My’Zaaih who was diagnosed with autism early in her life and has suffered from insufficient educational services in Baltimore. Reeds has been recognized for her service to her community; most recently by the 62nd Governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan.
