Dozens of deserving students gathered last week to be recognized at the seventh annual fall TRU Law awards reception.
In all, 27 scholarships, bursaries and course prizes totaling nearly $85,000 were awarded at the ceremony. Many more students were recognized for non-monetary Dean’s Prizes for being the top student in each of the respective courses.
Dean Brad Morse says donors make an immense difference.
“TRU Law students benefit a great deal from the awards available. Currently, we have 29 donors who allow us to be able to give out $141, 250 in awards and bursaries annually. Our goal over the next five years is to build our annual award disbursement to $500,000,” he said.
