It's the first time in nearly a decade Parafed is able to offer a scholarship to its' members, however this time there are two up for grabs – one for those under-21 and one for those 21-and-over.
Parafed works with people throughout the Northland community who live with a physical disability to see them included and involved in sport and recreation for enjoyment, good health and competition.
Regardless of someone's age or ability Parafed believes Northlanders should have the chance to push themselves.
“The purpose of this scholarship is to help break down a financial barrier which may prevent a Parafed Northland member from furthering their sport,” says Parafed chairperson Vicki Meyer.
“The fund is not designed to cover the entirety of an individual’s sporting venture; it is simply about supporting them.”
Meyer explained the fund is only for those undertaking some form of regular sporting activity who have ambitions for their chosen sport/s.
“There are a lot of people in Northland with talent but sometimes financial circumstances can put a stop to them pursuing some opportunities.
“We want this money to help Northlanders. We are a small organisation who does a lot for our members and we want this to be a way we can help add value to their time with us.”
To be eligible for the scholarship you must live with a physical disability in Northland, be a paid member of Parafed Northland and be undertaking some form of regular sporting activity which requires you to apply for this scholarship.
The financial investment to each category for 2018 is $250 for the successful under-21 recipient and $500 for the successful recipient 21-and-over.
This scholarship revives the William Allan Johnson Memorial Fund which was previously handed out annually.
For full terms and conditions, or to apply, go to www.parafednorthland.co.nz.... Applications close October 31.
