Tertiary students encouraged to apply for Scholarships

Tertiary students encouraged to apply for Education Scholarships with Council

Applications for Horowhenua District Council's Tertiary Education Scholarships have opened for the 2017 study year.

Each year the Council awards up to three scholarships, with each recipient receiving $2500 towards their tertiary study fees, plus 10 weeks' paid employment with Council.

Applications are invited from Year 13 students currently studying at a secondary school in Horowhenua, or students who have previously studied at a Horowhenua secondary school and are now in their first or second year of tertiary study.

Students must also be planning to study or currently studying for a qualification in a Council-relevant field. HDC’s three priority areas for the 2017 scholarships are strategic planning, graphic design and aquatics project management.

Applications for the 2017 study year close on Friday 21 October 2016. Further details and application forms can be found on the Youth page of Council’s website www.horowhenua.govt.nz.
