The scholarship focuses on how this contribution impacted the student\u2019s development as a UCF Knight, as well as how they plan to use those experiences to continue their Knight journey upon graduation.<\/p>\n<p>Tran, who is originally from Vietnam, immigrated to the United States with her family when she was 2 years old. Since then, she has resided in the Central Florida area and attended UCF as an undergraduate where she was inspired to excel in everything she does. From her experiences at UCF, she strongly believes in giving back to others through civic engagement and inspiring others to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>She emphasized that, \u201cThrough hard work and dedication, I was able to follow my passion for anthropology in hopes of inspiring others to make a positive change in the world\u201d. Tran aspires to be an anthropologist and pursue a career in academia.<\/p>\n<p>Tran started her Anthropology M.A. graduate program in the Fall of 2014 and aside from her campus and community involvement, she has been actively engaged in research with faculty from the anthropology department.<\/p>\n<p>VolunteerUCF, President&#8217;s Leadership Council, and the Ronald E.
