BUBA Scholar Program
The BUBA Scholar designation honors youth athletes who excel on and off the field—demonstrating dedication to training, service, leadership, and personal growth.
​
Each Scholar receives a $1,500 annual scholarship, including free membership to The Diamond Collective, Baltimore’s premier development and leadership facility. Scholars gain access to exclusive workshops, service-learning, and mentorship opportunities.
Eco System
Our ecosystem is designed to support every stage of a young athlete’s journey, combining athletic training, education, mentorship, and community engagement. It connects players with coaches, families, mentors, and academic partners, creating a strong support network. Through access to resources focused on health, nutrition, and mental well-being, we ensure each athlete is equipped for success. This interconnected environment builds clear pathways to high school, college, and even professional opportunities, helping youth grow both on and off the field.
The Buba Lab
Life After Baseball (LAB) is a comprehensive mix of workshops covering the life/career skills and mindsets needed to succeed in today’s world. By empowering youth with skills and information typically reserved for those more fortunate, these offerings cover all the bases, helping to level the playing fields in nearly all aspects of life.
​
From entrepreneurship to financial literacy to real estate career training and workforce development, these workshops and seminars empower athletes to pursue diverse opportunities with confidence, adaptability, and strategic thinking.
