AZUSA, Calif. –
Anaheim, Calif. resident Roland Lee is one of three recipients to be awarded Azusa Pacific University’s Kern Center for Vocational Ministry Scholarship. A sophomore transfer student from Cypress Junior College, Lee demonstrated a strong commitment to ministry, academic success, and service to earn this scholarship.
The scholarship offers Lee the opportunity to further his career in ministry and gain more knowledge in the field, while providing funds for college tuition.
