Delta Phi Lambda Foundation Announces 2020 Recipients of the Hannah Seoh Alumnae Scholarship and the Academic Excellence Scholarship
Every year, the Delta Phi Lambda Foundation awards the Hannah Seoh Alumnae Scholarship and the Academic Excellence Scholarship, each in the amount of $1,000. The Hannah Seoh Alumnae Scholarship can help alumnae sisters with costs associated with graduate school, conducting research, or professional conferences. The recipient of the alumnae scholarship has demonstrated strong leadership, and a desire to effect positive change in their communities.
This year’s recipient of the Hannah Seoh Alumnae Scholarship is Kat “Prototype” Ho, an alumna of Sigma Chapter at Clemson University.

By pursuing a career in the medical field, she hopes to give back to marginalized communities, specifically providing preventative and primary care catered to underserved areas and minority communities.
