National Awards by UTNIF Alumni

We are immensely proud of our alumni. Please understand that that to us, an institute is merely a starting point. The accomplishments of these students are very much their own, and are the result of an immense commitment to forensic education that starts the year with a summer institute, but in the end is a collaboration between the student, the coach, the support of school administration, and finally the input of a summer institute or in some cases multiple institutes. So please simply join us in congratulating the national awards graced upon the following alumni of the UT National Institute in Forensics. This list is incomplete, and please contact us if information is missing or in error.
