Florence L. Hanes Scholarship Fund

Leelanau Township Community Foundation, Inc.

Florence Hanes had a generous spirit towards her community. On July 7, 1971, Ms. Hanes bequeathed her entire estate to the Leelanau Township Community Foundation to establish an endowment fund for scholarships. In her words: “I’d like any money you realize to be used for scholarship for trade schools - that could be anything from car mechanic, practical nurse, registered nurse, business school - just so the object was the training needed to earn a living. And it doesn’t need to be limited to just young people. Here I am, age 54, with the need to earn a living and no training of any kind to help me earn a living.” Qualified candidates are individuals - of any age - with a high school diploma from Northport Public Schools who are pursuing a vocational education.
