Under-subscribed scholarship opportunity for Year 11/12s

Lucy from Newtown

I'm sharing this from my community listing because it really warrants it!

We have five scholarships available this year, up to three of which (to Germany, Japan and the USA) could be full scholarships (including airfares and pocket money) if family circumstances warrant it.

The scholarships are worth up to NZ$100K (NZ$50K per year). And at this point we only have a dozen or so applications.

If you know a student going into Year 12 who you think would like to expand their horizons, please share!

They will study the IB with change-making youth from around the world, at an international boarding school in Germany Japan, New Mexico, India or Armenia.

The application deadline for UWC New Zealand 2018 scholarships has been extended. Full and part scholarships are available (needs-assessed).

Applicants must be New Zealand citizens ordinarily resident in New Zealand, who will be aged 16 or 17 on 1 September 2018, and who will have completed NCEA Level 1 (or equivalent) by January 2018 or earlier.

Applicants should be academically strong, physically active and involved in their school or local community.

Application forms and more information are available at www.nz.uwc.org......
