This afternoon at Government House Auckland, Dame Cindy and Dr Davies had the great pleasure of welcoming recipients of the 2024 Elliot Tertiary Scholarships. Sir George Elliot was an Auckland businessman and philanthropist who was particularly interested in contributing to the education of rangatahi in Auckland. This scholarship, which began in 1999, helps contribute towards the tertiary education of outstanding school leavers.
Warmest congratulations to India Haldane, Rubylee Greenwood, and Thomas Raybould for their selection as this year’s scholarship recipients. We wish you all the very best as you begin your journey into tertiary education.
