University Scholarships

Courtney Watson —

A huge congratulations to the deserving students from Riccarton High School who received scholarships from universities across New Zealand.

We had eight students receiving Emerging Leaders’ Scholarships, each worth either $6,000 or $8,000, and multiple students receiving scholarships in their chosen field of interest, starting at $5,000. A special well done to Apoorva Patelkhana and Sion Choi who received multiple scholarships, and to Sophie Mullally who received a Performance Scholarship at Otago University, worth $16,000.

We hope you pursue what you enjoy doing with these scholarships and know that you have worked so hard. We can’t wait to see what kind of amazing people you will become after putting in even more time and effort into your futures. Once again congratulations!
