Charles H. (Chuck) Allen, III
1953-2008
The Senator Chuck Allen III, Scholarship was established in 2008 in memory of the public service and parish activism of Chuck Allen. He served faithfully the New Haven, Connecticut and Harlem, New York political and neighborhood communities and parishes. The fund will distribute monies to high school seniors of color who have a proven record during their formative years of leadership and community activism; financial need; and desire to study accounting, law, political or urban studies or work in public management. Students will be required to write a 1,000 word topic essay chosen by the selection committee. Once scholarships are to be dispensed an application will be available by contacting the St. Philip's Federal Credit Union located at 204 W. 134th street, New York, NY.
"Doing something to help someone else is the reason why we were all put here" Chuck Allen often said. He believed that your energy, knowledge and expertise were to be shared with others. And he did just that.
Monies provided by such funds as the Senator Chuck Allen, III scholarship provide one of the most pressing needs in higher education today for students of color who are applying for admittance to college. Scholarships for students to attend higher education allow deserving students to attain their educational goals, meet their professional objectives, succeed to their fullest ability and give back to the next generation.
Chuck Allen attended The Hotchkiss School, a boarding school in Lakeville, Connecticut (on scholarship), the University of Connecticut and New York University, completing a MPA degree and becoming a CPA. He served as an alderman in the 21st district of New Haven, Connecticut and a state senator representing the 10th district of New Hallville, New Haven. He believed in education and benefited greatly from family, community mentors and scholarships. He was a motivator who firmly espoused the notion that together we can all make a difference. Throughout his four-year battle with cancer, including over 13 surgeries, he continued to work on housing and education projects that benefited the larger good. Now it is our next generation's turn!
