BoP Polytechnic Study Award
The BoPP Study Awards are intended to be an incentive for local people to achieve qualifications with an aim to minimising the financial barrier for the second chance learner. These awards are for applicants with previous work experience and/or an evident career aspiration. The personal and financial circumstances of applicants will be also considered.
(Note: As there are a number of BoPP scholarships available to local secondary school leavers, people under 18 years of age will not be considered for these awards).
In all cases, the award will be pending the individual meeting the programme entry criteria and being accepted onto their intended study programme.
Applications are open to residents living within the Western Bay of Plenty (Tauranga City Council and Western Bay District Council) and the Eastern Bay of Plenty (Whakatane District Council, Opotiki District Council, and Kawerau District Council) (New Zealand Citizens and Permanent Residents only). Priority will be given to the 18 -24 age group.
When applying you must include with the approved application form, a brief statement outlining:
- why and how you focused on your chosen subject area
- how financial assistance may be critical to your success
- information on career plans, goals, achievements, community involvement or personal strengths, especially in the area of learning
Additional information which may help the selection committee with their decision may also be provided.
