NELSON COLLEGE PTA – SCHOLARSHIP INITIATIVE
The Nelson College PTA are in the process of launching a PTA Scholarship Program to enable at least two Nelson College students to attend “life changing” programs each year. 2019 is the first year this will be offered and the PTA intends to evaluate each program on an annual basis.
PURPOSE:
The NC PTA currently funds students who are representing the College in sporting, cultural and academic pursuits nationally and internationally and now wishes to extend that support to a student who may be struggling to achieve their potential and one other lucky student who is selected by “ballot”.
DELIVERY in 2020:
To offer 2 “scholarships” supporting 2 boys to attend the 10 Day Development Program currently run by the Spirit of New Zealand Trust.
This program is considered the best aligned with the PTA Scholarship program goals with the following particular attributes:
ELIGIBILITY & ENTRY & ALLOCATION:
DEVELOPMENT SCHOLARSHIP:
