Liba and Zack Hollar Emerging Leaders Scholarship

Liba and Zack Hollar were interested in promoting personal development of all people. The memorial scholarship was established as a legacy of this concern. Because trained, dedicated leaders are so crucial to the future of our democratic society, Mrs. Beth Bock, daughter of Liba and Zack Hollar, established the Liba and Zack Hollar Emerging Leader Scholarship to enable and encourage students to develop their leadership potential. The future rests with people who are prepared to lead and to serve.

Description and Format

The Emerging Leaders Scholarship Program recognizes students who are presently leaders in their school/community and/or demonstrate potential for leadership.

Scholarship Award

The scholarship award is $600. The recipient will be awarded another $600 the second year of study if he/she remains eligible (maintains satisfactory progress and continues to work toward a teaching career). Factors to be considered will be academic record, participation in the monthly seminars, and involvement in other school/community activities.

Criteria for Selection

The primary consideration in selection will be the student's demonstrated leadership potential and the desire to become a teacher. While academic achievement is important, it is not the primary criterion for selection.
