Trinity Student Wins $5000 Study Abroad Scholarship

Trinity University's, student Amy Taffet was awarded a $5000 Study Abroad Scholarship by The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS). NSCS, is a Washington based organization that awards one scholarship each year to a student who can show how he/she will make the best use of it. Amy won the scholarship amid a tough pool of applicants.
"We read hundreds of applications throughout the year, and Amy's truly stood out in the group," said Stephen E. Loflin, NSCS' executive director. "Her answers were focused, specific and explained how this program would help her, both in her undergraduate years and beyond. We are proud to help her represent the Trinity community, NSCS and the United States, overseas."

It is a matter of pride for Trinity University that she was chosen among an applicant pool consisting of the best and the brighest brains from all over the United States.
I am also planning to study abroad next semester through Trinity University. Oh, no, I am not suggesting that I will also apply for this scholarship and probably keep this trend going on.
