The Women’s Club of Great Falls Scholarship Fund announced the establishment of the Holly Ann Kuga Endowment on March 19, 2022, at George Mason University (GMU).

Holly’s daughter, Katherine “Katie” Kuga Wenner, said, “The Women’s Club of Great Falls Scholarship Fund recognizes extraordinary students and provides them with financial assistance to pursue degrees in higher education. Like many of these students, my mom had to support herself growing up, especially as it related to education.”

In December 2020, Kuga died in a vehicle crash. As a longtime member of the Wom-en’s Club, Kuga was very close to many. She was also very supportive of the Fund that awards scholarships to deserving Northern Virginia students aged 25 and older who are in good academic standing and demonstrate financial necessity.

At the March 19 event, Wenner joined GMU student Mariama Swarray-Deen, the first schol-arship awardee under the Holly Ann Kuga Endowment, and Mary Bramley, GMU’s Director of Donor Relations and Steward-ship. Scholarship Fund board members Jayana Garvey and Sally-Anne Andrew Pyne, and Chris-tie Lavin, co-presidents, also attended.
