LAS
VEGAS, June 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
Daniel G. Calugar Foundation is pleased to announce that
Karen Huang has been named one of
the 2024 recipients of the Academic Achievement Merit Scholarship.
As one of 10 scholarship winners, Karen will receive $10,000 toward her studies at the University of California, Irvine, where she will
start as a freshman in the fall of 2024.
"I am extremely grateful to have received the Daniel G. Calugar
Foundation Scholarship, which will help me tremendously as I pursue
a degree in computer science at the University
of California, Irvine," Karen said. "I want to thank
Dan Calugar and his team for their
generosity. This scholarship is truly a blessing that will support
me in furthering my education and achieving my career goals."
The Academic Achievement Merit Scholarship was created by the
Daniel G. Calugar Foundation to recognize academic excellence in
students who will be incoming freshmen for the fall 2024 semester.
It also seeks to support driven individuals with well-defined
career aspirations by fostering their educational and professional
journey.
To be eligible for the Academic Achievement Merit Scholarship,
applicants had to achieve a minimum score of 1500 on the SAT or 34
on the ACT. Additionally, students underwent a comprehensive
assessment of their academic achievements, stated goals, and
objectives as presented in their application statement.
In her scholarship essay, Karen wrote about her summer
experience as an intern at Boeing, which influenced her to pursue a
career in the technology industry.
"My internship showed me how the smallest scales of data can be
leveraged to perform complex operations, the wide versatility of
computer science, and the myriad of questions yet to be answered,"
she wrote. "From medicine to robotics to finance, the reach of
technology to different communities is one aspect that draws me to
the field."
"Since I have always been passionate about math, science, and
problem-solving, software engineering is the perfect career for me
to combine these skills to solve real-world challenges. I would
love to work in this ever-evolving field and use emerging
technologies, logic, and code to create a lasting impact on
society."
