What do you like most about being a Hunt Scholar?
The Hunt Scholarship is more than just a monetary award. It connects driven students with like-minded peers, with faculty who support their endeavors, and with friends who last a lifetime. I have enjoyed the doors the Hunt Program offers but mostly the people I have met and friends I have made.
