Houston Rockets forward Jae’Sean Tate awarded the $10,000 Jae’Sean Tate BUILT Scholarship on Bold.org to aspiring restaurateur, Victoria Bell, of Lawrence, Kansas. Tate created the scholarship in November 2021 to support minorities in the food industry who juggle work and school.
The scholarship is Tate’s way of honoring those within the hospitality industry who have been impacted throughout the pandemic.
“Victoria’s application was inspiring,” said Tate, who recently signed a new contract. “At 16 years old, she’s already doing everything she can to pursue her dreams of opening her own restaurant or bakery one day. Graduating with a college degree is one of my proudest accomplishments to date. I’m honored to help someone else do the same.”
