“Having a Duke scholarship played a major role in my life being able to give back,” the Yankees’ Marcus Stroman said of giving away scholarships to kids from The Bronx.
The 33-year-old Yankees pitcher awarded $25,000 scholarships to a pair of deserving Bronx high school graduates to cover their freshman year of college expenses.
“When you put in the hours around something you’re passionate about, you end up chasing a goal that will be able to give back to you for your whole life and doing something you love,” Stroman told The Post. With tutoring and after-school help from her father, Wyatt went from a 2.6 to a 3.6 and made the National Honor Society her senior year — all while helping kids read and write at PS 095 Sheila Mencher in The Bronx and volunteering at Acacia Network, the largest Hispanic-led human services non-profit in New York. Stroman said he saw in Wyatt and Florentino the same striver’s sensibility that drove him while growing up in Medford, NY.
