Tynan Family Molecular Horizons Honours Scholarship
2024 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 (MTC) series of community events. Mr Michael Tynan valued the importance of community and giving back, and his legacy continues through the MTC. Thanks to their generosity and the fundraising efforts of our local communities, we established the Tynan Family Molecular Horizons Honours Scholarship to support students undertaking honours projects within the research themes of Molecular Horizons.
The 2024 Tynan Family Molecular Horizons Honours Scholarship will provide $2,000 for outstanding honours students and $3,000 to their primary research supervisor to support the student's project costs.
Potential awardees would be able to show a commitment to community, volunteering and giving back. Scholars and their supervisors would be UOW Ambassadors to the MTC who actively support the events throughout the year. See the webpage for MTC.
