Student Scholarships

There's 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.

We are offering a number of tertiary scholarships to Taranaki locals who are studying full-time in areas relevant to the work we do. Check out the video below and apply online!
