Lee's winning essay earned her a $2,500 scholarship. Lee, a native of Seoul, Korea, wrote about how international education will help her make a difference in the world.
"By studying in the U.S.," she wrote, "I hope not only to acquire advanced knowledge of nursing, but also to further my understanding of diverse cultures represented here."
Jean Martin, associate professor of nursing and director of KCON graduate programs, nominated Lee for the scholarship.
"Her goals are to teach nursing students and provide health care to underserved populations in developing countries," Martin said. "She is a very deserving student and winning this scholarship will help place her in a very strategic position to achieve her goals."
