Zonta invites study award applications

The Zonta Club of Mangawhai is once again offering a Second Chance for Women Study Award.

The successful applicant will receive $2500 towards tuition fees for an NZQA approved course of study towards a sustainable career path.

Any woman furthering educational studies who is resident in the Mangawhai, Kaiwaka, Maungaturoto, or Bream Bay area is eligible to apply.

Last years awardee, Alaina Samson, was a very worthy and popular recipient who used her award to assist with her final year in her nursing studies.

This award is made possible because of the generosity of the local community at Zonta fundraising events such as the Mid Winter Ball and quiz nights.

It is in addition to the two places awarded to young women on Spirit of Adventure leadership voyages and the Yellow Rose Award for service to the community.

The Zonta Midwinter Ball will be held again this year on July 29th, so put this date in your diary and watch this space for ticket sales.

n Get your Study Award application forms by emailing zonta@mangawhai.org.nz or text Sue on 027 555 6636 with your name and email address. Applications are due by May 5 and interviews will be held on May 20.
