Tara Hoellerman, a junior media art major at Westminster College, recently received the William J. Wolf Memorial Scholarship.

 This $4,000 scholarship, funded by The Pittsburgh Foundation, was applied to her tuition for the 2004-2005 academic year.

 "We are grateful to the William J. Wolfe Memorial Scholarship Fund and The Pittsburgh Foundation for their support of bright, motivated students like Ms. Hoellerman, who represent the future of our region," said Gloria Cagigas, vice president for institutional advancement at Westminster.

 In 2003, The Pittsburgh Foundation, the 15th largest community foundation in the nation, awarded more than $24 million in grants to charitable organizations.  Established in 1945, The Pittsburgh Foundation is comprised of more than 960 funds established by organizations and individual donors.  These funds range from $10,000 to more than $32 million, and have a combined market value of approximately $537 million.

 Hoellerman is a daughter of John and Barbara Hoellerman, Wexford, and a graduate of Pine-Richland High School.
