Riccarton Rotary Youth Trust Scholarship was established in 2007 as the development of a significant gift to the Riccarton Rotary Youth Trust from a Riccarton townie and Rotarian, Mr. Brian Moore.
This scholarship helps academically able students at the Ara Institute of Canterbury, Lincoln University, or the University of Canterbury whose monetary or personal circumstances might have discouraged them from considering access to tertiary education in the lack of the scholarship.
About Riccarton Rotary Youth Trust Scholarship
Every year the Riccarton Rotary club presents a scholarship to help a student to attend either the University of Canterbury, Lincoln University, or the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology. The purpose of the Scholarship is to deliver financial aid to a student who is undergoing tough financial stress or personal circumstances which might otherwise stop the further tertiary study. The grant acknowledges that some young people of huge potential are discouraged from getting higher qualifications.
The Scholarship is governed by the Scholarships Office of the University of Canterbury with the applications needed to be applied by 15th August for the following year’s scholarship. The websites of the two Universities and CPIT will deliver application formats prior to the date.
