Our Commitment to Empowering Tomorrow’s Tech Leaders

At Orases, we believe that access to technology should never stand between a student and their dreams. Through our partnership with LYNX at Frederick High School, we’re proud to continue our tradition of providing essential technology to promising students who may face financial barriers. We extend our sincere gratitude to MRIGlobal for their generous donation of laptops for the 2024, 2025 and 2026 scholarship program. Their support makes it possible for us to continue empowering students with the technology they need to succeed.

We’re investing in more than just equipment – we’re investing in potential. This scholarship program aims to give ambitious students the tools they need to pursue their passion for technology and innovation.
