Tertiary Scholarships available for Ōmokoroa area students

The Ōmokoroa & Districts Lions Club is calling for applications for two tertiary scholarships to be awarded in 2021. The first award is the Beryl Scott Tertiary Memorial Scholarship, which will be for $2,000 for the 2021 year. The second award, the Precious Family Memorial Scholarship, will be granted following the same criteria but for $1,500.

Applications are sought from tertiary students who have completed at least one year’s study in subjects of their choice, at the institution of their choice, and who intend to continue their studies in their chosen field. The awards are offered to youth of Ōmokoroa who have been residents of the area comprising the Ōmokoroa peninsula, Plummers Point, Whakamārama, Pahoia and Esdaile Road (up to and including Tim Road, but not Wainui South Road) for three years and have attended a local secondary school for at least three years.

Requests for application forms must be made by 6th December with completed applications required by 13th December. Please contact Christine

Robertson on 021 658 444 or, preferably, email robertsoncs@xtra.co.nz. Late applications will not be considered.

A selection committee will review the applications, interview selected candidates on Saturday 16th January 2021, determine the recipients, notify the winners, etc. If a large field applies then a smaller group will be selected for interview.

If you know of a student eligible for these awards please let them know about this scholarship opportunity.
