The Catholic Foundation congratulates the three recipients of its scholarships for the 2021 tertiary studies’ year and wishes them all well in their chosen courses.
The scholarships worth $2,000 each, are awarded for the first year of a student’s tertiary study. The 2021 awards were presented at college prize-giving events at the end of 2020.
The Foundation also recognises the applicants who were not successful but who were of equally high calibre and wishes them well in their future studies.
The 2021 scholarships were awarded to two students from St Catherine’s College, Kilbirnie and one from Garin College, Nelson.
Keriana Snodgrass, Garin College, is attending the University of Canterbury and is studying for a conjoint Bachelor Laws and Bachelor of Commerce.
