The Dr. C. Ann Hollingsworth Student Leadership Scholarship
A Campaign to Honor Her Life -- and Perpetuate Her Values

The IFT Foundation and IFT Student Association, through a committee of Ann’s peers, have established the Dr. C. Ann Hollingsworth Student Leadership Scholarship. The award will recognize student leaders who have demonstrated outstanding leadership at their university and the IFT Student Association, along with passion for student advocacy, IFT, and their chosen profession. 

In conjunction with this, the IFT Foundation has a campaign goal of $50,000 to make this program for student leaders a reality. The Hollingsworth Student Leadership Scholarship will provide funds for student leaders to continue their studies and join the ranks of IFT thought leaders as their careers progress. These are the young people who will chart a strategic course for the organization and our profession. We feel that Ann would have been pleased with this outreach to identify and mentor new student leaders for our organization and our field.

Please give or pledge to the campaign. Thank you for honoring Ann.
