Virginia L. Sakala Memorial Scholarship

This memorial scholarship was established in 1995 by the friends and family of Virginia Lynn Sakala, a CU Boulder alumna who dreamt of becoming a teacher. Due to financial constraints, Virginia was unable to obtain her teaching certification. Her devotion to education and desire to teach remains alive through this scholarship, which provides support to students with financial need and a strong desire to teach. Eligible students must be fifth-year seniors pursuing their teacher licensure through the CU Boulder School of Education. The selection committee will make its decision based upon merit, financial need, and passion for education.
