Students hailing from the Waihou-Piako rivers zone have an opportunity to win a tertiary studies scholarship worth up to
$6000.
Waikato Regional Council’s Roger Harris Scholarship for 2020 is available to those intending to study or already
studying civil engineering or resource management, with a particular focus on river and catchment management.
The scholarship is dedicated to helping students whose families live in the council’s Waihou-Piako rating zone, which
stretches from south of Putaruru to north of Thames in a band that takes in a range of districts. (Full details of the
area covered are available from the council.)
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae including qualifications, copies of any NCEA and university results,
extracurricular activities and other information that demonstrates skills and attributes.
