Helping Hands Scholarship (the “Scholarship”) was established by six colleagues of HollisWealth, a trade name of Investia Financial Services Inc. (“HollisWealth”) who are each a financial advisor - Deborah Kohlsmith, Gary Elder, Kelly Wood, Shane Nixon, Alfred Redmann and Kim Seipt (the “Founding Advisors”). In addition, the Scholarship received generous donations from Jason Bobee, Regional Vice President of Investia/HollisWealth.
The intention of the Founding Advisors when establishing the Scholarship was to encourage and assist young people to pursue post-secondary education. We believe that post-secondary education is the foundation to a better future and we are delighted that we can continue to help young people realize their full potential.
Helping Hands Scholarship consists of two cash awards:
1st place ‐ $3,000 cash award
2nd place - $2,000 cash award
