Milford Foundation Scholarship
The Milford Foundation scholarship was established in 2022 with the aim of reducing unequal access to tertiary education, by providing financial support to school leavers for whom cost is a barrier. Scholarship recipients also benefit from the Milford Foundation network to support them in their higher education journey and career path. The Milford Foundation was born out of a desire to make a significant positive impact on our communities, and to help build a stronger New Zealand. Supporting youth and education are key areas of focus for the Milford Foundation. (https://milfordfoundation.co.nz/scholarship/)
A supporter from the Milford Foundation’s network will be assigned to the successful applicant for the term of the scholarship. They will provide guidance, encouragement, and knowledge to help candidates succeed at their tertiary institute and gain experience within different career paths.
