Harmony Hols Wins IHCC Tom Arnold Scholarship

Indian Hills

OTTUMWA — Indian Hills Community College student Harmony Hols from Oskaloosa is one of two winners of the IHCC Tom Arnold Scholarship for the 2017-18 academic year.

Hols had her essay selected by Arnold, the Hollywood actor and Indian Hills graduate, who established the full scholarships – which include tuition, books and fees – in 1991.

Each year Arnold chooses a theme that applicants need to write about in their essays. An Indian Hills faculty committee then screens the initial entries and Arnold reads the essays and chooses the scholarship winners.

This year’s theme chosen by Arnold was: “America just had an election and the country seems pretty divided. A lot of people live in fear. The
great thing about America is we are such a diverse, resilient country. What can you do or have you done to help bring us all together?”
