Scholarship Criteria

The successful candidates will have proven academic ability, have an excellent attitude towards learning and provide evidence of their positive contribution to their current school. These criteria will be considered when selecting three successful scholarship recipients. The selection panel’s decisions will be final.

 

Valued at $1,000 each, the scholarships can be used towards school uniform, subject materials, school fees, subject-related activities, trips and camps, digital device, and other educational resources. Payment will be credited to an account in the recipient’s name at the College. This fund will then be used for the purposes and items outlined above for as long as the student is enrolled at Howick College. The total amount drawn against the scholarship, over time, will not exceed the stated value of the scholarship awarded.

​

Selection Process

• A maximum of 20 in-zone applicants will be shortlisted at the beginning of Term 4 in their Year 8 year and invited to sit a two-hour written examination. Shortlisted candidates will be formally notified of the examination date and time.​

• Based on the examination results, a final shortlist will be selected. These applicants will be invited to attend an interview, with formal notification of the interview date and time provided.​

• Successful recipients will be notified in writing within two weeks of the interviews. They will be required to confirm acceptance in writing within one week of receiving their offer.​

• Upon acceptance, Howick College will liaise with Howick Rotary and the recipients’ schools to arrange for the scholarships to be formally presented by a Rotarian and the Howick College Principal (or their representative) at a suitable school function.​

 

Please note: All applicant information will be treated with the strictest confidence. Personal details will be used solely by the Scholarship Selection Panel.​
