Thank you to everyone that attended our 37th Annual Awards Celebration and Float Your Boat Reception!
To the parents, teachers, mentors, families, and friends of our honored students, who have played such an integral part in the success of our scholars, we are grateful to you for providing us with such motivated individuals who are on the path of intentional success.
The NABS Scholarship Fund 37th Annual Awards Celebration and Float Your Boat Reception took place on the Beautiful Ovation Yacht this past July of 2025. We cruised down the Detroit River and enjoyed the spectacular views of the Detroit Skyline.
This is one of our premier events. We came together to honor the following 15 ambitious high school seniors: *Antonio M. Fleming, University of Michigan, Priya L. Williams, Jackson State University, Jermaine T. Autry, Hampton University, Nairobi Johnson, Howard University, Donell James, Elizabeth City State University, Tylyn Hutson, Hampton University, Gabrielle L. Williams, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Jadyn A. Washington, Georgia Institute of Technology, Chandler N. Sam, Morehouse College, Chelsea J. Durfield, Spelman College, Joseph J. Soto, Georgia Southern University, Lauren C. Jones, University of Michigan, Darrick L. Harris Jr., Oakland University, Nailah L. Scarber, University of Detroit Mercy, and Michael J.W. Waters, Morehouse College.
Because of Companies like DTE Foundation, Flex-N-Gate, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Magna, and many others our event was a resounding success. We awarded a collective $112,500 in scholarships in 2025 to 15 High School Seniors pursuing careers in the automotive industry and other areas.
Without your support our students would not have the opportunity to attend the Universities of their choice; and for that we say Thank You!
Proceeds from this year’s Celebration will fund scholarships and provide mentoring for our outstanding seniors who will pursue careers related to the automotive, financial and tech Industry.
