Edith Ladd Holm Memorial Scholarship

A pioneering, prairie school teacher, Edith Ladd Holm left her home in Maine in 1900 and went west to teach in North Dakota. She married, raised a family, and taught in one-room country schools on the northern plains for 30 years. During her career she inspired countless young people to experience the joy of learning and to achieve their maximum potential.

This scholarship is awarded to a deserving transfer student based on a combination of financial need, academic achievement and, most importantly, a dedication to pursuing a career in elementary education.

Funding for this scholarship is provided as a memorial to Edith Ladd Holm by her granddaughter, Patricia Krone, and her great granddaughter, Keri Krone Comer. k55
