Film & Digital Arts Scholarships

The Bertha Drabkin Goodwin Leviton Scholarship for American Indians in Film & Digital Arts was established by UNM alumna Katrina Parks, who states, “The Bertha Drabkin Goodwin Leviton Foundation is excited to support this scholarship in honor of its founder, my great aunt Bertha, who was an educator and my grandmother, and Gladys, who worked for VISTA as a nurse on the Navajo Reservation. One of Gladys’ areas of focus was eye health, and so we are extending the idea of vision beyond the physical to support American Indian film and digital art makers’ visions.”
