Austin Adesso was moved to establish a named scholarship in honor of his little brother from his time as a mentor through the Big Brothers Big Sisters Organization.

Austin shares, “This scholarship was created in honor of my little brother, Justin Thyme, who was a deeply kind person and always stood up for others. It exists because someone believes in you, even if we have never met. I hope this course shows you that you can do hard things, solve problems, and take care of yourself and others. My wish is that this experience becomes a turning point where you see yourself as strong and capable of more than you ever imagined.”

With a scholarship gift of $2,500 you can name a scholarship and remove the financial barriers for a student to go Outward Bound. We’ll share your scholarship inspiration with the recipient and then their post-course reflection with you. A named scholarship is more than a gift; it’s a bridge to growth.
