Calibre Continues to Amaze
The outstanding calibre of local students and apprentices
applying for the Trust’s annual scholarships continues to
amaze trustees.
Trust education spokesperson, Judy Keaney said the
standard keeps getting higher and higher each year. “We
have some wonderful young people in our city and it is
always a privilege for the Trust to recognise them with
these awards,” she said.
Apprentices Urged to Apply
In congratulating the students and apprentices, Mrs Keaney
said the Trust would like to see more apprentices applying
for the JWJ Lepper (Memorial Apprentice) Scholarships.
“While the standard of applicants remained high, numbers
were down on previous years.”
Kevin Scott of Farm and Garden Equipment in Rotorua
said the scholarships are a wonderful incentive for
local apprentices. “I urge all employers to encourage
applications. I cannot remember a year in which at least
one of our apprentices was not awarded a scholarship,”
he said. “We have always encouraged those apprentices
eligible to apply for the Trust’s scholarships and we’ve had
a very good success rate. While the money comes in very
handy for study fees and tools, having received a scholarship adds value to their CV and to their future career.” Two of
his company’s apprentices received scholarships this year.
Each JWJ Lepper Memorial Apprentice Scholarship has an
annual value of $1,000. Recipients of the Waiariki Institute
of Technology Whare Takiura Scholarship receive $2,000.
Tertiary Study Awards, provided to assist students with
their first tertiary qualification, have a value of $2,000 per
year for a maximum tenure of four years.
Applications for ALL scholarships open on 1 October and
close on 19 November 2010.
