Quota International of Cupertino
Cynthia Sine-Yee Lee Memorial Scholarship
Background:
An active and enthusiastic member of Quota International of Cupertino, Cynthia Sine-Yee Lee was a lifelong advocate of higher education. Born in Macao, China in 1926, her university studies were interrupted, when she came to the United States in 1949. Once here, she continued studies at Skidmore College, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and later Columbia University, where she received a Masters Degree in Education. Her daughter, Nicôl Lea served as Quota International President in 2004/2005. Cynthia Sine-Yee Lee and her family eventually settled in Cupertino, opening The China House Restaurant, a local landmark for over two decades. Before her death from cancer in 2007, she supported various community organizations. When her family donated money in her memory to Quota International of Cupertino, members set up this scholarship in her name as a fitting tribute to a cherished member.
