Central Lakes Trust Scholarship Fund
Since 2007, Central Lakes Trust (CLT) has awarded Tertiary Education Scholarships annually to five partner schools in its region.
Scholarships are for individuals wishing to commence their first year full-time tertiary education, apprenticeship or vocational training in 2024. Each scholarship is to the value of $2,500.
In 2019, Pioneer Energy Limited (PEL) introduced Science and Technology scholarships, and in 2020 the Trust introduced Vocational Scholarships. Vocational Scholarships specifically recognise vocational knowledge and skills.
In the years this programme has been running CLT will have helped 634 young people, to a total amount of $1,551,500 with this year’s allocation.
Applicants are required to meet the eligibility criteria and live in the Central Lakes Trust region.
It is at the discretion and judgement of the Principals and staff of these schools to determine, based on guidelines and agreed criteria, the student(s) they wish to select for a CLT Tertiary Education Scholarship, a PEL Science and Technology scholarship, or a CLT Vocational Scholarship.
Once applications open, application forms and guidelines are available from the five partner schools in the CLT region. Completed applications are to be forwarded directly to the relevant CLT regional based school for consideration.
