The Lions Club Charitable Trust tertiary scholarship is again open, with current tertiary students who have lived within the Motueka High School zone encouraged to apply.
The scholarship is in its fourth year and supports students in their second, third or fourth years of study, with a $3500 funding boost. Amber Goodall was last year’s winner, and she says that the scholarship gave her a little bit of wriggle room to pay for expenses while focusing on her studies.
“It alleviated a lot of stress for me throughout the year,” she says.
The former Riwaka School and Motueka High School student is now working as a new entrant teacher at a Wellington primary school, after completing her primary teacher education masters degree with honours last year.
The financial boost is offered annually to one tertiary student who has a connection with the wider Motueka area.
Applications close on Thursday, 20 February, with further information available at motuekalions.org.nz or by emailing [email protected].
