Euin Lee, who also goes by Kathy, is a Citrus College graduate who recently transferred to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), as a psychology major. Ms. Lee's incredible academic performance at Citrus College, which includes completing the honors program and serving as president of the Alpha Gamma Sigma (AGS) honor society, earned her a Transfer Alliance Program (TAP) scholarship from UCLA. Ms. Lee was one of only 26 students awarded the $5,000 scholarship, which is renewable for a second year as long as she meets certain academic criteria.
In addition to the UCLA TAP scholarship, Ms. Lee won a local scholarship from AGS for community service. As the group's 2018-2019 president, she was integral in coordinating community service projects. The Citrus College AGS chapter is hosting a southern regional conference this fall, and Ms. Lee will return to share her knowledge and offer advice while serving on a panel of past AGS members.
"Due to Ms. Lee's track record of academic excellence, I am confident she'll secure funding for a second year," said Honors Transfer Coordinator Brian Waddington. "She is a remarkable student who deserves this scholarship. Kudos as well to Honors Transfer Counselor Eileen Sin for continuing to help our students and strengthen our transfer connection to these impressive four-year institutions."
