Bursary scheme opens doors for top students
Participants in the Vice-Chancellor’s Bursary
Scholarship scheme, which recognises high academic potential in Year 12
and 13 students, visited the campus recently to see what Massey has to
offer.
The scholarship programme is offered in 11 schools around the country.
Schools are asked to identify students who have potential to excel academically
but who might not otherwise have considered university as a tertiary option.
Students are offered mentoring and coaching through their last years at
high school and offered fee scholarships when they attend the University.
The programme has been made possible by a grant from the Tindall Foundation
and is co-funded by different companies in each region. Opus Consultants
supports some schools in the Wellington region.
Regional manager Ken Boam says the scheme enables the company to put something
back into the region that supports his company. They were already offering
mentoring in Porirua secondary schools and the Massey VCB scheme is an
extension of that, he says. It also allows the company to support the
University, which is one of its larger clients.
