Local students receive awards

Woman’s Club of Cypress (WCC) presented scholarships to three outstanding local high school students during its June meeting.

Scholarship winners include Cypress High School students Louis Malpica and Hiseo Lee who were awarded $850 each. Louis plans to attend California State University, Long Beach next year and major in business management. Hiseo plans to attend University of California, Los Angeles and major in biology. Also awarded an $800 scholarship was Jinnie Kim from Oxford Academy, and she will attend Cornell University majoring in biochemistry.

Winning the Darlie Wasicek Scholarship Award was Jennifer Lynn Creamer who was awarded $1,000 and plans to continue her education in the performing arts. This scholarship comes from an endowment from a WCC past president. It is awarded to a student in the field of performing arts, such as dance, music, vocal, or drama. This year the Theatre and Dance Department of Cypress College selected an outstanding student in the field of drama to be the recipient.

“Continually striving to make a difference in our community, these annual scholarships help our students with the ever-increasing costs of a college education,” said Scholarship Committee Chairman Sue Fardette.
