Amy Holland Memorial Mountain Education Scholarship

This scholarship was created in memory of Amy Holland, a true renegade for women in the ski industry. She helped forge the path for the next generation of females passionate about the outdoors, skiing, snow sciences, and emergency medicine. We hope for this scholarship to provide opportunity and support for more women seeking to accomplish their goals within this field.
