James A. McCavitt and Annie LePors McCavitt Scholarship Fund

This scholarship was established by James McCavitt in honor of his parents, James A. McCavitt and Annie LePors McCavitt, to support graduating high school seniors from the Tussey Mountain School District in Pennsylvania. The scholarship, inspired by another memorial scholarship program, was created to ensure the McCavitt parents would be remembered throughout the Tussey Mountain School District and the Broad Top area in Pennsylvania as model parents who encouraged others to 'Get an education and make something of yourselves.' The scholarship provides up to $1,000 to students who demonstrate financial need and plan to pursue service-oriented areas of study such as education, nursing, law enforcement, medical research, or social work. Recipients must be planning to enroll on a full-time basis in a college or university. The scholarship is administered by Silicon Valley Community Foundation and applications are managed through the Tussey Mountain School District.
