The Raekisha A. Masslieno Education Fund was created out of her son, Malachi Alexander, the founder of Future Youth Leaders Society, Inc, desire to continue his mother's legacy, love for music, and passion for higher education. With the help of family and organization members, he was able to take this idea and turn it into a reality. This fund seeks to provide three scholarships, the R.A.M Scholarship, the Purple Elephant Scholarship, and the Loretta Y. Masslieno Education Scholarship to a graduating high school senior or current college student who meets the application requirements and will open on at a later date for the 2024-2025 academic year.
The names of two of our scholarships are important in understanding who Ms. Raekisha Masslieno was as a person and it is important for those who seek to apply that they understand the significance behind them. The R.A.M Scholarship is named after Malachi's mother and it symbolize's her devotedness to motherhood, servanthood, and hard work. The Purple Elephant Scholarship was given this name because she had a love for elephants and her favorite color was purple and this factor also played a huge part in our logo design for the education fund. The names of these two scholarships hold value and when filling out your application we want you to consider this. We recently awarded Ms.Loretta Young Masslieno who is the mother of Ms. Raekisha Masslieno; a newly named scholarship( The Loretta Y. Masslieno Education Scholarship) on October 15th 2022.
With this notion, the purpose of this education fund is to implore young people to continue to strive for higher education and never stop believing in oneself. If you happen to meet the requirements, we encourage you to apply. The deadlines are too be determined .
