There are countless reasons why a student may require financial assistance. Between textbooks, tuition, rent, and food, the costs can add up quickly. Now more than ever, scholarships and awards play a pivotal role in alleviating the financial strains for the deserving students fortunate enough to receive them.
While academic awards come in various shapes and sizes, each helps provide valuable support to our students. Of course, these gifts would not be possible without the generous supporters who have either established a scholarship or donated to these funds over the years.
Congratulations to the following students on their awards and having distinguished themselves as academics and as leaders within the department.
