Carol F. Holzer Scholarship Fund

Carol Holzer was a Colorado native. She was born in Denver in 1931. Her father, who served as Mayor of Aurora from 1931 to 1936, instilled a strong sense of pride in the community where they lived. Her mother stressed the importance of education and encouraged Carol to attend the University of Colorado. Ms. Holzer received her degree in Education in 1953 and was a first grade teacher in Aurora for 25 years until she retired in 1980. Carol established this scholarship in an effort to encourage students who wish to teach at the primary level.
