Charles Williams Heritage House Scholarship
In partnership with Curtis High School in Staten Island, New York, this project funds two annual $1,000 scholarships to help Curtis High School seniors pursue their college educations. This project is named the “Charles Williams Heritage House Scholarship”. The scholarship is named in honor of Coach Charles Williams who mentored three of the leaders of Cross World Africa (Kevin Thompson, Founder, Eric Garvin, Executive Director and Derek Alvez, Board Member since inception) while they were high school students. Coach Williams emphasized the importance of believing in something bigger than ourselves. Accordingly, promoted the importance of serving others and the life changing power of a college education. This helps to explain why Cross World Africa leadership is dedicated to helping others by giving them opportunities to transform their lives. We will award the inaugural $1,000 scholarships to two Curtis High School in Spring 2022. Applicants will be evaluated in terms of Academics, Activism and Athletics. These attributes embody the legacy and spirit of Coach Williams the best.
Donation Option: $100 to $1,000
