2023 Recipient: Alice Batiste

The AWC Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce the recipient of this year´s Dr. Jessie Lokrantz Foundation Scholarship.  It is with great pleasure that we extend our warmest best wishes to Alice Batiste, who has demonstrated exceptional dedication in her academic journey.

Alice was born in Taiwan and moved to California when she was in high school, after which she became a naturalized U.S. citizen. In 2001, she received her bachelor’s degree in economics and international relations at UCLA. After school she discovered a love for education and started a homeschool co-op in her hometown of LA while also raising three children. Her interest in education propelled her to pursue a master’s in education. Currently, she is a master’s student at Stockholm University in the field of International and Comparative Education. Alice’s thesis focuses on adult education and mid-age students in higher education. Her work has the potential to positively impact the mental and physical well-being of mid-age adults through active learning and intellectual stimulation.
