Scholarship Recipients 2023
Since 2007, Central Lakes Trust (CLT) has awarded Tertiary Education Scholarships annually to the five High Schools in its region; Wakatipu and Dunstan High Schools, Mount Aspiring and Cromwell Colleges and Roxburgh Area School.
Scholarships are for individuals wishing to commence their first year full-time tertiary education, apprenticeship or vocational training in 2024. Each scholarship is to the value of $2,500.
In 2019, Pioneer Energy Limited (PEL) introduced Science and Technology scholarships, and in 2020 the Trust introduced Vocational Scholarships. Vocational Scholarships specifically recognise vocational knowledge and skills.
In the years this programme has been running CLT will have helped 634 young people, to a total amount of $1,551,500 with this year’s allocation.
Applicants are required to meet the eligibility criteria and live in the Central Lakes Trust region.
It is at the discretion and judgement of the Principals and staff of these schools to determine, based on guidelines and agreed criteria, the student(s) they wish to select for a CLT Tertiary Education Scholarship, a PEL Science and Technology scholarship, or a CLT Vocational Scholarship.
Once applications open, application forms and guidelines are available from the five high schools in the CLT region. Completed applications are to be forwarded directly to the relevant CLT regional based school for consideration.
“I would just like give a huge thank you, I have received the scholarship money and I could not be more grateful as I’m sure so many other people who have received it are too!
It will definitely help me this year and ease the stress with money so I can put more of my efforts into my studies.
Thanks heaps again, it means so much to me. ”
“Having just completed my first semester at University of Otago I would like to say an extremely warm thank you to you for the Tertiary Education Scholarship that I received earlier this year.
I am studying a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Psychology and am loving it so far! Between my studies, immersing myself in the student life at Unicol and working part time at Unipol (the University gym) I am kept very busy.
I am very appreciative of being able to put my scholarship towards the cost of my hall and it has helped me out immensely.””
