Cartoon students doing different careers: painting, construction and on laptop

Applications for the Council’s Tertiary Scholarship to help fund fees for our rangatahi close at 5pm on Wednesday 11 September.

Currently studying in his first year of Health Science at the University of Otago, Angus Hyslop says the scholarship he received last year helped cover a laptop and an iPad which have been essential to his study.

University of Canterbury Bachelor of Science student Mason Thompson says he put the money he received from the scholarship towards his student fees, which has helped relieve financial pressures and allowed him to focus more on his studies.

Another recipient who is studying engineering at University of Canterbury, Finlay Cotton (photographed) says that the scholarship can make a real difference to someone who might otherwise struggle financially to attend university.

“Make sure you apply, it has helped me so much. You lose nothing by putting yourself forward, other than the time it takes to complete the application.”
