Scholarships

There is something special about working in local government.

You have the opportunity to make a valued contribution to your community and a real difference in people’s lives. To encourage promising people into the public sector, we are offering a number of tertiary scholarships to Taranaki locals who are studying full-time in areas relevant to the work we do.

      

Scholarship recipients will have their course fees paid for by us and be provided with 10 weeks paid holiday work each year. Recipients then join our graduate work programme for two years after finishing their studies. 

Three scholarships are available for 2010 in the following areas: 

• Applied mathematics / statistics.
• Civil engineering.
• Curatorial studies.
• Finance / accounting.
• Geography.
• Parks / landscape / recreation management.
• IT / application development.
• Library studies.
• Planning.

Applications have closed, we will be calling for applications again in September 2010.  If you have any questions, please email hr@npdc.govt.nz  or phone us on 06-759 6060.
