Maungaturoto student Samantha Allen has been awarded the Whangarei A&P Society’s annual agricultural scholarship worth $7500.
Scholarship convenor and society president Murray Jagger says Samantha is heavily involved in the community and her local A&P Society, and has a good grasp of issues facing the agricultural sector.
“She is a very clear and enthusiastic communicator who is very motivated and passionate to have a career in the agricultural sector,” he says. “She is an intelligent young woman who has clearly defined goals.”
To win the scholarship, entrants have to submit information about themselves, including education, interests and achievements, and a 500-word essay explaining why they have chosen agriculture as a career.
Samantha, who has just finished her final year at Otamatea High School, intends to study Veterinary Science at Massey University this year.
The Whangarei A&P Society’s Agricultural Scholarship is open to any student living in the Northland Regional Council area who is considering, or participating in, agricultural-related tertiary study.
