The Audrey Levine Scholarship of Excellence is a scholarship dedicated to Audrey Ford Levine, my grandmother, better known to the Port Arthur community as Mrs. Levine or "MOMO". Audrey Levine dedicated her life to giving back as a faithful servant to the community. She was the owner and operator of ET's Daycare and The Ellis Academy of Excellence for over 30 years and raised many generations of families. She also went on to open up a homeless shelter known as the Ellis Hospitality Center, where she fed and clothed the homeless 3 times a day and gave them the resources they needed to not only survive but to thrive in the community. Audrey Levine was a light in everyone's world and will forever be missed. Through this scholarship, her name and legacy will live on and continue to bless individuals as she did in her lifetime. 

​

The Audrey Levine Scholarship of Excellence is a scholarship that highlights student and community leaders who are proactive in their communities and surrounding areas just as she was. This scholarship is for individuals who strive to make a change and want more for not only themselves but for those around them as well. Lifted with Love Inc. wants to acknowledge those who are pouring into others and helping their causes as well. Audrey Levine was our inspiration and as we continue to carry on her name, we hope to inspire others to continue chasing their dreams, being world/community leaders, and to never give up in the face of adversity. ​
