The Tonya M. Holloway Scholarship Fund

My name is Zoë Holloway, the daughter of Tonya Michelle Holloway. In 2017, my mother passed away suddenly in her sleep at the age of 49.  Being a giving person throughout her life as a loving wife, mother, friend and co-worker, I want to honor her memory by giving back to the institution we both cherished, my alma mater - Spelman College. 

Tonya Holloway was a person who worked hard and displayed excellence in everything she did. She was a strong advocate for women pursuing higher education and worked at Spelman College (a woman's college and the #1 HBCU in the U.S.) for over 11 years. She loved the College, the faculty and staff, and the students. For always giving a helping hand and passion for traveling, the Tonya M. Holloway scholarship is a need-based scholarship for a freshman Spelman student who has a 3.0 and plans to study abroad.
