DEDICATED TO ENHANCING EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES IN SOUTH WAIKATO

SWIFT are delighted to have launched a $50,000 scholarship scheme to South Waikato residents of all ages with their tertiary education.

The scholarship programme is not only for school leavers. “SWIFT endorses ‘whole of life’ education and welcomes applicants who are in employment looking to upskill and or members of the community who are looking to reintegrate into the job market by upskilling or gain employment in another industry sector.”

The scholarships are open to returning applicants as constant upskilling and development is encouraged. “The scholarships won’t be a ‘one and done’. If an individual continues to study beyond their first tertiary qualification or for extended years beyond their programme, they can apply each year.
