The Southeast branch of the American Association of University Women awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Basha High School graduate Diana Tran. Diana will be studying biomedical engineering at Barrett, the Honors College at ASU. She has already earned many college credits at Chandler-Gilbert Community College and hopes to earn a B.S. in two years. After that she will either work on her Ph.D. or go to medical school to become a doctor in a neonatal unit.
AAUW wants to acknowledge the role of Chandler Education Foundation (CEF). AAUW raises the funds for the AAUW scholarship, establishes the criteria and helps with the selection. AAUW members Kris Eikelberger, Ellen Peck and Jan Bobbett worked with CEF and other volunteers in making the selection.
