The Rodney District Council is offering seven scholarships, each valued at $2000, in recognition of the value of education to the District’s future.
The scholarships are open to year 12 and year 13 students attending the Kaipara, Mahurangi, Orewa and Rodney Colleges and Kingsway School, who will be undertaking full time tertiary study in 2009.
The scholarships will be awarded on the recommendation of selection panels set up in consultation with the five colleges (one scholarship each for Kaipara and Rodney Colleges and Kingsway School, and two scholarships each for Mahurangi and Orewa Colleges).
There is no formal application form but applicants should provide information on their academic record at school, intended course of study and any other information considered relevant.
Major criteria will include excellence in school work and suitability for the proposed course of study.
The closing date for applications to be received by the Principals at each of the five colleges is Friday, 24 October 2008.
