Top New Zealand industry scholarships for 2012
The Scholarship is the first which will be awarded to students over five years by FIEA and builds on its recent contribution of over $50,000 through its Educational Fund to upgrade saw sharpening and levelling equipment at the Waiariki Institute of Technology. The other major award, the Southern Wood Council Forest Products Scholarship went to a first year student, George Ferguson, originally from Oamaru, who is starting his first professional year at the School of Forestry in 2012. The award is valued at a total of $4,500 over the three final years of professional study and follows the first recipient of the award last year, Sarah Naylor. "We’re delighted to award both students, Jessica and George (attached photo) with industry support to assist them with their University studies" says Brent Apthorp, FIEA Director and SWC Secretary. "Both were outstanding academically and in their work experience, as were all of those applying this year for the two Scholarships. The industry’s certainly well placed with the calibre of students currently being attracted to professional study through the University of Canterbury". | ||
