Sesame
Flyers International strives to create opportunities for a
better tomorrow for young people through higher
education. One of the ways this goal is accomplished is
through Sesame Flyers International Scholarship Program.
These programs award annual scholarships to youths who have
shown need, dedications and academic distinction.
Through an application process, candidates are solicited from
high school, youth programs, youth councils and the community
at large. The McChad Magloire Scholarship named in honor
of a past Youth Council President, is awarded each June to
students in high school and college.
The McChad Magloire Scholarship
The
McChad Magloire Scholarship Fund was inspired by the Winthrop
Youth Council, when we lost our former President Chad Magloire.
He was fatally shot at a sweet sixteen (16) birthday party on
December 14th, 1997. As our president, Chad was always
determined to change the views of today's youth in the
community. He always had big dreams that matched his
heart. He spearheaded projects such as the basketball
tournaments, feeding the hungry, just to name a few. He
organized social events that brought the youths in the
community together. Chad was not only our
president, he was also our best friend - someone in whom we
could confide. While doing all these extra curricular
activities, Chad was a part time business major at Medgar
Evers College and a full time employee at Macy's Department
Store in Kings Plaza Mall, where he worked as a Stock
Clerk. In his effort, Chad was trying to save money to
continue his education in February , 1988. So for all
his hard work and dedication, we dedicate this scholarship
fund in his name.
