Engineering student Audrey Livirya, Horowhenua Colleges 2014 Dux, has been awarded a Tertiary Scholarship from the Horowhenua District Council.
The scholarship carries a $2500 grant towards course fees and related costs, alongside a paid 10 week internship with the Horowhenua District Council. Council Chief Executive, David Clapperton, reported that there was a high number of applicants, all of a highly competitive standard and congratulated Audrey for her success.
2015 sees Audrey heading off to begin a five year double degree in Engineering and Arts at Auckland University.
“I’m excited about the Council work experience. I think it will give me a practical sense of what it takes to be an engineer. I know it will really help me shape my career path and map out my areas of interest for study during my university years”.
