Finance senior Ngoc Nguyen ’23 is celebrating $10,000 in scholarships from the Commercial Real Estate Women Network (CREW). This funding will help her pursue her academic and professional future in real estate.
“For me, these scholarships represent a fresh start in life,” says Nguyen, who reflects on returning to college after taking a break for three years to financially support her mother and sister.
Encouraged by her boss to resume university studies, Nguyen began pursuing her finance degree at Cal State Fullerton in 2021, where she has been active in Titan Capital Management, the Student Managed Investment Fund, Real Estate Association and Finance Association.
Nguyen shares her experience, the impact of her scholarship awards and her plans for the future.
