Narrative:
Pilot was a solo student pilot. He had a stable approach until round out in the flare. During the flare student pilot drifted to the right of centerline and stayed on the right side until touchdown. After touchdown the student pilot attempted to correct for being right of centerline by applying left rudder; but did so with too much left rudder causing the plane to veer left across the runway and into the grass. Upon entering the grass the props struck the ground. Student pilot then [advised] ATC telling them he went into the grass; and then corrected to get back on the runway and came to a stop.remedial training on landings; crosswind landings; and rudder control upon transition from landing to taxiing. Propeller blades struck the grass/ground left side of runway and bent the tips of the blades.
