Eight College Students Named Thouron Scholars
Seven College of Arts & Sciences seniors and one 2022 graduate have each received a 2023 Thouron Award to pursue graduate studies in the United Kingdom. Each Thouron Scholar receives tuition for as long as two years, as well as travel and living stipends.
