The Christchurch Rotary Club has two scholarships on offer for Canterbury Students who wish to be part of the outward Bound experience.

School students aged between 16 and 18 years who would like to attend an Outward Bound course courtesy of the J R McKenzie fund. An application form is attached together with screening guidelines and scholarship endorsement. Please read the screening guidelines before applying.

The three week course is being held at Anakiwa in the Marlborough Sounds between 5 and 25 July 2021. Applicants must be between 16 and 18 years at the time of the course and must still be at school. The cost is normally $4,349, however the JR McKenzie Fund will pay $4,025 for the successful applicants, with the balance of $324 to be paid by the applicant together with the travel costs to and from Anakiwa and the medical examination.

Two candidates will be selected from the Christchurch Rotary district, plus two back-ups of each gender. Successful candidates will need to provide medical and other information to Outward Bound before they can be confirmed on the course.

The deadline for returning applications to us is Monday 7 June 2021. Late applications are unable to be considered due to the timeframes set by Outward Bound to confirm the applicants.

All endorsement applications need to be forwarded as soon as possible so that the students can prepare and return applications in time.

Please bring these endorsement applications to the Careers Office for us to complete.

The finished applications should be posted to:
