Foundation for Roanoke Valley Announces Holland Scholar Award


The Foundation is pleased to announce Mr. William J. Gooding as this year's Holland Scholar and recipient of a $16,000 scholarship.  The Holland Scholar Award, the Foundation's largest scholarship, is made possible through a generous bequest from the estate of Ethel Snidow Holland.  The process started with over 70 applicants, and of that number, 10 outstanding young men and women were selected for a personal interview, making the decision very difficult!

William is a senior at Hidden Valley High School and the Roanoke Valley Governors School for Science and Technology.  He is ranked at the top of his class and has participated in many activities throughout his high school career and plans to attend Washington University in St. Louis with the goal of obtaining a PhD.
