Nomination Quote - Jazz and his family - Bossman Dairy - Creagh St Store
"Every member of this family who serves in the shop are very friendly, helpful and always smiling. They get to know all their customers and I have never walked into a shop that makes you feel so welcome. During our first lockdown for Covid, they put food such as milk, bread, out for people who may need it free of charge."

Māori/Pacific (and general applicant) - FULL and part scholarships to finish high school overseas

Applications are now open for UWC Aotearoa New Zealand 2025 scholarships and places.
Full and part scholarships are available (needs-assessed), as well as unfunded places.
Applicants must be New Zealand citizens ordinarily resident in New Zealand, who will be aged 16 or 17 on 1 August 2025 (and not yet 18 on 1 September 2025), completing NCEA Level 1 or higher (or equivalent) by the end of 2024.

*Aotearoa will have a 'Dare to Dream' scholarship for 2025 entry to UWC Red Cross Nordic in Flekke, Norway (near Bergen), and the school has expressed a _strong_ preference for an Indigenous Māori or Pacific student. Dare to Dream scholarships are intended for students from low-income households - i.e. "backgrounds in which they would usually not even dare to dream of a world class education like that offered by UWC".
(We tend to think a fair amount of education in Aotearoa is "world class", so no shade on anyone's current school - it's just a different thing from UWC).
Other scholarships and places will also available open to any candidate - we'll know which UWCs to in November.
---UWC makes education a force to unite peoples, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future---
