Sturz Legacy Scholarship
Marian Sturz was more than just an archaeologist -- she was a pioneer, an adventurer, an intellectual and a spy who lived a life that could only be described as extraordinary.
Sometimes referred to as a real-life female Indiana Jones, Marian combined her love for family, appreciation of music, pursuit of education and compassion for animals with a fearless spirit that served her well in societies in some of the most remote corners of the world.
This scholarship is intended to honor Marian Sturz's incredible life and contributions by supporting students who share her inquisitiveness, sense of wonderment, kindness and indomitable strength.
Qualified candidates must post at least a 3.5 GPA, have a passion for exploration of diverse cultures and their artifacts, a commitment to lifelong learning, and a drive to leave a positive impact on society. Applicants must demonstrate strong moral character and integrity.
