$9000 A&P scholarship on offer


Northland students looking for a career in agriculture or associated fields have the chance to win study assistance worth $9000, thanks to the Whangarei A&P Society’s annual Agricultural Scholarship. Entries are now open for this year’s scholarship and anyone whose home is in the Northland Regional Council area is eligible to enter. Last year’s winner was Maungaturoto vet science student Samantha Allen, who says the award has been a huge help. “Not only has receiving the award been an amazing contribution towards my study, but the process itself in competing for it was an excellent learning opportunity, which I have no doubt will help me later in life,” she says. Scholarship criteria and application forms are available from the Whangarei A&P Society on 09 438 3109, or from their office at 127 Bank Street, Whangarei, or whangareiap.org.nz/education/our-scholarship. Deadline for entries is 4pm on Friday, September 21.
