2023 Levi Kennedy Memorial Scholarship Gala
LEVI KENNEDY December 29, 1899 - December 30, 1970
Levi Kennedy a trailblazer for many years pushing the envelope for students with limited finance to obtain a quality Christian education helped formed what is now called Southwestern Christian College (SWCC). In 1948 GP Bowser led the charge along with Levi Kennedy, J.S. Winston, G.E. Steward, Walter Adams and others to open the college in Texas. Under the presidency for many years of Dr. Jack Evans and now Dr. Ervin Seamster the doors remain open in spite of years of both financial and building difficulties.
With the death of Levi Kennedy in 1970 a memorial scholarship committee was formed to raise monies to help support students to attend SWCC. Members from churches across Chicagoland together vowed not to let his dream die the annual scholarship banquet was formed and every year host nearly 700 people supporting the college and students. Stand with us in our battle to help keep the doors open by donating to our organization Levi-Kennedy Scholarship Organization. This too shall end but SWCC must go on…
