Another awesome group of students were awarded their Whitireia Foundation scholarships for 2020. In other years, our scholarship recipients would be surrounded by proud whānau at a very special Awards ceremony, where they would meet their sponsors.
2020 was different. Awards night was set to take place the week New Zealand went into Alert Level 4 lockdown. It is a tribute to our recipients for 2020 that they stayed the course through some seriously challenging times. New priorities and challenges once New Zealand moved to stem the community spread of Covid-19, has meant a couple of students pick up their scholarships in 2021 or will defer study until later. To all of our recipients, winning a scholarship is a significant achievement – we’re proud of you!
