The James A. McCavitt and Annie LePors McCavitt Scholarship Fund was inspired by a story James McCavitt saw in the paper about the Sze Lee Memorial Scholarship, a scholarship formerly administered by Peninsula Community Foundation. He set up the scholarship in honor of his parents, James A. McCavitt and Annie LePors McCavitt. Applicants must be a current graduating senior from the Tussey Mountain School District in Pennsylvania, planning to enroll in a college or university. Applicants must have demonstrated a desire to contribute knowledge in service-oriented areas of study such as education, nursing, law enforcement, medical research or social work. Applicants must submit two letters of reference only. One letter must be from a teacher or academic advisor; and one letter must be from a work or volunteer supervisor, a youth leader or personal acquaintance. Letters from teachers, advisors and employers must be on school or company letterhead. All letters must be signed and dated. Photocopies are acceptable. Letters may be sealed in their own envelopes.
