BTHS Football Alumni

The Adam J. Cirillo Scholarship Foundation, also known as the AJC Scholarship Foundation, is a charitable organization established in 1968 by Adam J. Cirillo and Brooklyn Tech football alumni. Its primary purpose is to provide scholarship opportunities to Brooklyn Tech High School football players who demonstrate outstanding qualities. The foundation recognizes student-athletes who balance academic development with athletics and show leadership, reflecting Cirillo’s belief that participation in school activities should be valued alongside academic achievement. It also awards grants to deserving community organizations pursuing charitable, religious, scientific, literary, or educational goals.

The foundation supports its mission through scholarship applications, fundraising events, and programs celebrating Brooklyn Tech football. Its annual Team Awards Dinner honors the team and directs proceeds to the scholarship fund and football program. The Hall of Fame Luncheon recognizes members of the Brooklyn Tech football community, while the Cirillo Classic and other activities bring alumni and supporters together. The foundation also offers event tickets, sponsorship opportunities, and ways to donate, helping supporters contribute to student-athletes and community initiatives.
