Waimarie offers scholarship
Hamilton East Community House ‘Waimarie’ is offering a scholarship to a community-minded university student.
The $600 scholarship will be awarded to a student residing in South
East Hamilton (Hamilton East, Hillcrest, Silverdale areas) and studying
at the University of Waikato.
The successful applicant will be required to sit on the South East
Kirikiriroa Community Association – the governing body of Waimarie for
a 12-month period.
This will mean attending monthly meetings and maybe a planning session. Community house co-ordinator Jane Landman believes the scholarship
will be a win-win for Waimarie and the scholarship recipient.
“It will be good to have a university voice for the Community House,”
she says.
“We are also keen to recruit younger people and new members from
the area.”
