Hotel, Restaurant and Culinary Arts Scholarship Recipients
Three Cypress College students received scholarships in the Hotel, Restaurant and Culinary Arts field.
They are:
- Linda Tran – $2500 Ayers Hotel Cares scholarship;
- Cory Irwin – $2500 Ayers Hotel Cares scholarship; and,
- Austin Nguyen – $2000 American Hotel & Lodging Association Educational Foundation Scholarship
Both Linda and Cory received a $2,500 Ayers Hotel Cares scholarship. This particular scholarship is supported by the Orange County based family owned hotel company and is open to Ayers employees.
Austin Nguyen (a #CYProud graduate of 2015 and current Cal Poly Pomona Hospitality Management student) received $2,500 from the Anaheim Orange County Hotel & Lodging Association. The AOCHLA scholarship recognizes outstanding students studying for a career in the hospitality industry. The scholarship is a national competition and unusual for a community college student to win. In addition to Austin’s AOCHLA recognition, he was also recently named Employee of the First Quarter for Hyatt Huntington Beach — quite a big deal for a property that size! Congratulations, Austin!
