About the Foundation
Who is Sarah Zuber
Sarah Zuber, a resident of Columbia County, had just celebrated her 18th birthday. Sarah’s active life was tragically cut short just before her graduation, where she was to receive her college associate degree as well as her high school diploma. Sarah accomplished much in those few short years, even self-publishing a book. Sarah’s senior year was full of college preparations as she planned to begin her third year at a university campus. Just like others her age, Sarah’s schedule was full. Along with completing classes and finals, there were college tours, college applications, scholarship and financial aid applications, reviewing university acceptance letters, and working a job while learning to pay bills and become an independent, responsible, young adult.
Sarah was excited and nervous in anticipation of her future academic choices, even in decisions on her major, which included neuroscience. But her ongoing passion and gift was in the arts. Sarah was a creative artist, always thinking outside of the commonality of the usual or mundane. Sarah was a creative thinker and a critical thinker, analyzing and critiquing all aspects of her world. Sarah also enjoyed creative writing, whether it was short stories or poetry, or even fiction novellas. Sarah’s grandiose imagination always shined through.
It is our desire to carry on this fire of excitement for art, creative writing, critical thinking, and the ability to think outside of the box. The Sarah Zuber Memorial Scholarship Foundation seeks to financially help students who have a strong and vivid imagination.
See the Scholarships page for the application process. Whether a sponsor or an applicant, The Sarah Zuber Memorial Scholarship Foundation looks forward to future communication with you. Thank you for your interest and support.
Work by Sarah Zuber
Now it is Winter Sunlight filtering through the trees, The air is chill Frozen like the earth below. The leaves shower down, landing where they wish. The sun is stubborn, warding off snow. I walk through the forest, searching for… something. Something unreachable, yet almost touching. I finally pause, lying down in the moss Watching ravens play tag, chasing each other Through the canopy. Listening to their cries I close my eyes To fall asleep beneath the branches. When I awake, the snow is falling The ground is icy, my breath visible before me. I get to my feet, beginning to laugh, Racing up the now invisible path. When I emerge, crossing a field I see home.

Sarah's Haikus Aesthetic Staring at a void, A white sheet of emptiness; Wishing I could sleep. Ice Cream I learned it's a lie; Money can buy happiness Stuffed in a Joy Cone. Ow I'm walking on air, Tingles running up my legs! Help, my foot's asleep! Punctuation Comma-on, be brave And tell the apostrophe He's too possessive.
