The Signal 13 Foundation is known for supporting Baltimore police officers in times of need—but its impact extends far beyond moments of crisis.

Through its scholarship program, Signal 13 is helping students like Jazzi Pridgen pursue higher education and achieve their goals. A first-generation college student from Baltimore, Jazzi is preparing to graduate from college and take the next step toward a career in dietetics and sports nutrition.

In this conversation with CEO Nancy Hinds, Jazzi shares how the scholarship helped ease financial pressures, allowing her to stay focused on her education and plan for the future.

We have a small favor to ask. Thousands of Baltimore Police families have trusted the Signal 13 Foundation to support them during difficult times and when they need assistance paying for college for their kids.

Like other nonprofits, Signal 13’s funding depends on generous donations from individuals, companies and foundations. We can’t do what we do for Baltimore City Police in times of need without your support. Requests for assistance are increasing and we rarely turn a grant or scholarship applicant down.

Signal 13 is celebrating 40 years of helping Baltimore City Police, and the Board’s goal is to do even more to make their lives a little easier during stressful times. We do this because we believe in supporting the brave men and women in the Baltimore Police Department who put their lives on the line everyday to protect us and the city we love.
