Le Flambeau Foundation , Inc. – December 5, 2024
The Le Flambeau Foundation is proud to announce the launch of the Dr. Luc L. Colas Scholarship, honoring the legacy of a true visionary. Dr. Luc Colas MD, Esq., born in Cap-Haïtien Haiti and a founding father of the Foundation, dedicated his life to leadership, teaching, and service. His spirit lives on in the countless individuals he inspired and empowered. Education was a cornerstone of his life’s work, and he is remembered as an exceptionally accomplished man of intellect, discipline, integrity, and empathy.
To honor Dr. Luc Colas’ legacy, the Foundation has awarded two scholarships to cover all tuition expenses for the final two years of college at Université Notre Dame d’Haiti in Cap-Haitien. The winning scholars, Pierre Fanequerlie and Rodne Trevol, are pursuing studies in agronomy, a field that aligns with Dr. Colas’ commitment to sustainable development and community empowerment.
A scholarship committee comprised of distinguished individuals, including Dr. Marie Caze M.D., Mr. Barthelemy Decius JEAN NOEL Esq., and Mr. Jean St.Lot-Gervais, carefully selected the recipients. The two scholars began their studies on November 25, 2024.
We extend our warmest congratulations to Pierre and Rodne as they embark on this exciting journey. We are confident that they will honor the legacy of Dr. Luc L. Colas and contribute meaningfully to their communities. The future is bright for these talented young individuals and ultimately for our local communities. We look forward to witnessing their inspiring achievements.
