Angela Craig, a sophomore at Irvine Valley College, has won a $5,000 scholarship, presented by Gov. Pete Wilson at this month’s Conference for Women.
Craig, 21, was one of five recipients out of more than 500 applicants. Criteria included grade-point average and community involvement. Craig won the scholarship in the public-service category.
Craig, who lives in Costa Mesa with her 2-year-old son, is president of the Irvine Valley College Honor Society and a volunteer for Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education, a program for students who are single parents.
She said she plans to transfer to UC Irvine next fall and hopes to study criminology, with the eventual goal of working for the FBI.
