Jesse and Wendy's "Neighbor To My Neighbors" Educational Advancement Scholarship

A man and woman with children.

In heartfelt remembrance of two extraordinary individuals, Jesse and Wendy, who epitomized the true spirit of community, we are honored to introduce the “Jesse and Wendy: Neighbor to My Neighbors Educational Advancement Scholarship.” This memorial scholarship stands as a tribute to Jesse and Wendy’s unwavering commitment to fostering a sense of unity and support within our neighborhood.

Jesse and Wendy were not just neighbors; they were pillars of strength, compassion, and encouragement to everyone fortunate enough to know them. Their enduring legacy is one of selflessness, kindness, and a profound belief in the transformative power of education. To commemorate their profound impact on our community, this scholarship is established to carry forward their legacy by supporting the educational aspirations of promising individuals who share their dedication to making a positive difference.

The Jesse and Wendy: Neighbor to My Neighbors Educational Advancement Scholarship seeks to uplift and empower students who embody the values that made Jesse and Wendy beloved figures in our community. As we embark on this journey to honor their memory, we invite aspiring individuals to apply for this scholarship, not only for their academic pursuits but also for their commitment to embodying the spirit of community service and support that echoes their dedication to being true neighbors to our community.

As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Let us come together in this effort to enrich a community from which we can all learn and contribute. This scholarship is an investment in the future leaders of Bed Stuy, acknowledging the wealth of opportunities and potential they hold. Together, we can and will be the village for the youth of Bed Stuy, because if not us, then who?
