Tynan Family Molecular Horizons Honours Scholarship
2022 Tynan Family Molecular Horizons Honours Scholarship
Community
Molecular Horizons is a world-class medical research facility at the University of Wollongong, dedicated to solving real-world health problems in our community - from the level of single molecules to the entire body. We also nurture and train the next generation of leaders in medical research.
Since 2019, we have been fortunate to partner with Ms Madeline Tynan and the Tynan Family, who are dedicated to raising funds for medical research through the annual Michael Tynan Challenge series of community events. Thanks to their generosity and the fundraising efforts of our local communities, we have established the Tynan Family Molecular Horizons Honours Scholarship to support students undertaking honours projects within the research themes of Molecular Horizons.
We recognise that global events have presented significant challenges over the past few years. In support of the resilience of our students, the 2022 Tynan Family Molecular Horizons Honours Scholarship will provide $2,000 for outstanding honours students and $4,000 to their primary research supervisor to support the student's project costs.
