The Committee on Graduate Studies has selected three graduate students as Trent's first winners of the new Ontario Graduate Scholarships in Science and Technology (ogsst). Trent will be provided with $20,000 from the Ministry of Education and Training for two awards, which will be combined with $10,000 in funds donated by Aramark, for a total award of $30,000.
