For Tristan, the prestige award alleviates the financial burden of education. It allows him to pursue his interests freely while dedicating himself to his extracurriculars and academics.

Tristan is most excited to learn about how technology and innovation can be used to improve our lives. Research and discussion about implementing technology in medicine such as biochips and artificial intelligence in devices have always been a topic of interest for him.

Tristan is grateful for the opportunities the scholarship opens for him and plans on taking full advantage of this to pursue his passions.
