Zonta Club of Denver Scholarship Winners
2023 Scholarship Winner, Lauren McClintock
Our winner for this year’s scholarship is Lauren McClintock, a second year graduate student at Metropolitan State University, finishing her MBA in Strategic Business.
Lauren’s application stood out for a number of reasons. Not only has she maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout her post-graduate studies, she came highly recommended. Her longtime employer attested to her wildly creative and independent thinking, as well as her organizational and communication skills.
Her finance professor pointed out an exceptional combination of high intelligence and aversion to taking the easy road when it came to her chosen studies.
We are excited to introduce you to this remarkable woman who will be making a difference in the business world.
