2007-08 Prizes and Scholarships |
The road to education is not always easy and straightforward. It is a journey that
requires discipline as well as hard work, not only from the institution, but from the
student as well. Chemistry and Biochemistry majors at Trinity College are among the
most dedicated students in the nation and work very hard to achieve their goals.
In recognition of the time and effort put forth by these budding young scientists, the
Chemistry Department at Trinity College issues several awards per year to students
whose achievements have warranted distinction beyond the classroom and/or research
setting.
