Congratulations to our two scholarship recipients for the 2021-22 school year:
Alison Cha and Kengi Cha
Alison plans to major in biology at Portland State University, and ultimately become a pharmacist. Kengi will attend Oregon State University and major in environmental engineering, which provides solutions to problems with our land, air and water resources. We commend both of these young Hmong individuals for their dedication, not only to academics, but also in supporting their families and community.
