The Wanganui District Council provides a scholarship of $1,000 annually to a Wanganui Glass School student who has chosen glass as their main area of study.

To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must have enrolled in a full time programme at the Wanganui Glass School and agreed to present, at the end of the year, a minimum of three pieces of their work to the Wanganui Glass School Advisory Board. Two of these pieces will become part of the Council’s promotional collection.

The selection panel assesses the information from the candidate and in particular the student’s circumstances, history and how they demonstrate attributes such as motivation, commitment and achievement.

Applications for 2012 will open in the second semester 2011.

 

WDC (WINC) Scholarship for 2010 was awarded to UCOL BFA third year student Kate Walker.
