According to the student pilot, "while using runway 23 [for take off following a] touch and go, I applied full power for takeoff. [and] I applied too much right rudder to compensate. I [then] applied too much left rudder which steered the airplane off the runway onto the grass. Power was cut and brakes [were] applied to stop. [The] right strut hit a taxi light at low speed before full stop". According to the FAA Inspector who examined the airplane damage consisted of the right main landing gear fairing, and the firewall.
