NALF Scholarship
The National Association of Leavitt Families currently awards two scholarships to college-bound high school Leavitt descendants. The amount of each 2009 scholarship was $500.  Beginning in 2010 we have increased that to two $1,000 Scholarships...please consider contributing to the fund increase!!

Essays are submitted regarding the student’s future plans and the meaning of Leavitt heritage. 

Winners are announced at the annual meeting and reunion each June.  The  winning essays are printed in full in the August Newsletter each year.
…...Just as my ancestors had numerous obstacles to overcome when forming a new country, my peers and I have many hurdles to conquer in the present day state of our nation and the world.  My Leavitt heritage connects me to the past struggles of our country and gives me hope for future generations of successful Leavitt and Americans in the United States.

ORGANIZATION:
…...I will remember my great-grandfather for his frugality, self-reliance, respect for heritage, accomplishment, and sense of tradition, but I will always treasure the characteristic he possessed the most; kindness. Bapa was one of the most influential and compassionate men I had the privilege to know, and he embodies what I am most proud of in my Leavitt heritage.
