Alvin and Edna Leeman Endowed Scholarship

The Edna and Alvin Leeman Scholarship was started in 1976 to recognize the broadcast achievements of Al Leeman, long-term chief engineer for WKBT-TV and WKBH Radio.
It was through the efforts of Al Leeman that radio was brought to La Crosse nearly 50 years ago and television to the area in 1954. Mr. Leeman has been recognized by his peers throughout the state of Wisconsin and nationally for his contributions to the broadcast industry. WKBT-TV established this scholarship to give future engineers of the broadcast industry a place to study and to learn. Alvin Leeman died November 8, 1992.
