Anne Arundel Community College

Scholarship fund Praxis Engineering has donated $25,000 to Anne Arundel Community College to establish an endowed scholarship fund to benefit full-time students majoring in computer science, technical studies, engineering, or mathematics. AACC was selected by Praxis because of its national reputation and leadership role in cyber education. The college has several classrooms specifically equipped with the latest cyber security technology to train students. The first scholarship will be awarded next fall.

Anne Arundel Community College culinary arts student Lynn Brown said that while growing up in Washington, he would watch his mother prepare dishes that she ultimately taught him to cook. Then one day, he said, his mother virtually stopped cooking, all but turning the job over to him. "I was cooking pot roasts in the third grade," said Brown. He took his passion for cuisine to the community college with hopes of becoming a professional chef and discovered a school whose culinary arts institute has generated national attention, in part because of its hands-on approaches to preparing students.
