This award recognizes individuals who show a commitment to creative thinking, community involvement, and making a positive impact beyond their regular work or personal pursuits.

Paul Delaney Award for Outstanding Young Philanthropist
This annual award will recognize a Trent student or a recent graduate whose work sowing seeds of friendship and a spirit of philanthropy makes them an outstanding model for Trent students to emulate. Ideally, this individual’s leadership will reverberate across cultural, religious, generational, and other boundaries. This award is a legacy to Paul Delaney ’64, who dedicated his life to the values of social responsibility and global citizenship.
