The Trust is pleased to announce that it is granting scholarships to 21 young Northlanders to contribute to the cost of their fees for training in a variety of technical training courses covering such fields as electronics, forestry, computing, winemaking, mechatronics and various forms of engineering studies.
Trust chairman, Wayne Brown, stated that with a substantial donation kindly arranged by Mr Don Armitage from the Southern Regions Charitable Trust in conjunction with Rynoz on Cameron Street, the trust has been able to increase the expected number of scholarship recipients from 3 to 21. In addition generous support was received from Roger de Bray in the Mid North and Sean Kennedy in the Far North.
Successful applicants will receive between $4000 and $1500 towards their tuition fees and will also be able to call upon trust members for guidance during their study year.
