Aoraki Polytechnic Go Places Scholarships for 2012
Student success: Aoraki Polytechnic students Nicola Thomson,
Shelley Casey, Kara Steedman, Jillian Millington, Ashlee Quested
and Olivia King receive Go Places scholarships to help with further
study.
Twenty-four students have been awarded scholarships by Aoraki
Polytechnic to help them with further study.
Students moving onto a higher level of study with the
organisation received $1000 to assist with the cost of tuition fees
for this year.
More than 40 students applied for scholarships through a written
application and 21 were given to students from Timaru and Dunedin
campuses.
A presentation was held on campus last week to congratulate the
recipients.
Three Aoraki Leaders scholarships were also awarded to students
going from the polytech to degree programmes at another tertiary
provider in New Zealand, where a formal pathway exists between the
two institutions.
Scholars were given up to $5000 each to assist with tuition
fees.
