Financial Assistance for Students in Bowie, MD

Bursting With Promise, Inc. is a non-profit organization committed to providing financial assistance annually to one or more qualifying and deserving students entering the Morgan State University (MSU) freshman class, and to offer other community assistance through worthwhile uplift projects that benefit the local Prince George’s County Maryland schools and communities. 

The founding of Bursting With Promise was born of an unfortunate tragedy that occurred in 2015 when a most-promising MSU student, Adedire Ososanya, was struck and killed by a drunk driver while Adedire was heading home to family during the MSU winter break. My own daughter, an MSU freshman at that time, shared this tragic news with me. I was inspired and committed to doing even more in my own community assistance endeavors as I began to learn more about Adedire and his goals as an MSU student and his tenacity to excel and positively impact his community. The idea for an annual scholarship fund was born in the spring of 2016.

In the fall of 2016, Bursting With Promise was blessed to present its very first scholarship award of $1,000 to an exceptional high school senior who entered MSU as a freshman student.  In the fall of 2017, we were again blessed to present a scholarship award of $1,000.  Our goal is to honor the memory of Adedire Ososanya by awarding one to six scholarships annually, each ranging from $1,000 to $2,000.
