Celebrating Excellence: First Foundation Scholarship Awarded to Karys McKenzie

Congratulations to Karys McKenzie for receiving the First Foundation Scholarship! This prestigious scholarship acknowledges Karys' dedication to academic excellence. 

The First Foundation Scholarship provides opportunities for students to pursue their educational goals by easing financial burdens. The vision of First Foundation is an Aotearoa New Zealand where all people can succeed, thrive, and lead. The scholarships are more than just financial assistance; they are a four-year journey committed to unleashing the potential of talented Kiwis. 

The stories in First Foundation’s latest annual report show the programme is not your traditional scholarship. Instead of a ‘hand out', the focus is on a ‘hand up’, bringing together the three pillars of financial assistance, dedicated mentoring and an introduction to the professional world. Read to be inspired!

Best wishes to our current year 12 students who have applied for this scholarship. We hope there will be good news later this year to share with our community. 

Congratulations again to Karys, we are so delighted for you and look forward to watching your journey!
