Your table structure should be something like: students (id, name), awards_ students (student_id, award_id) awards (id, name, award_type_id), award_types (id, award_name)
Your model associations should then be: Student hasAndBelongsToMany Award, Award hasOne AwardType Set the reverse assocations if you need them.
