The COAC Alex Kollar and Jillian Webster Memorial Scholarship supports Pacific Northwest backcountry skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers, and snowshoers in their avalanche education. In Alex’s and Jill’s memory, these scholarships provide recipients the education to build life-saving skills as they pursue mountain adventures.
Alex Vincent Kollar was a local extreme outdoor athlete committed to sustainability and the future of our planet. He spent years working with the KefaProject helping at-risk youth in Rwanda. He was a rider of snowboards and bikes, a paraglider, and a kayaker who gifted our community with a heart of gold, a huge smile, and an indomitable stoke.
Jillian Webster was a professional mountain guide with Shasta Mountain Guides, a ski patroller at Hoodoo, a teacher, an overall gem of a human, and one who is loved and dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Two scholarships will be awarded this year in their honor. For full scholarship details and to apply, please go to the Events tab of our website and select Alex Kollar and Jillian Webster Memorial Scholarship.
This scholarship would not be possible without the support and efforts of Alex’s and Jillian’s loved ones.
