Mike Pero Mortgages Tertiary Scholarship, 2010 New Zealand

Job Description: The team at Mike Pero Mortgages understand the importance of tertiary education to young New Zealanders today. For this reason, the Mike Pero Mortgages Foundation formed the Mike Pero Mortgages Scholarship Programme in 2006.

The Scholarship Programme offers prospective tertiary students the chance to be awarded one of three scholarships. It is hoped that the Scholarship Programme will help to ease the financial burden of tertiary study and give dedicated students a helping hand along their career paths.

We are always amazed at the number of high quality applications received each year. It is inspiring to see so many young people dedicated not only to their studies, but to their communities and families as well. It is a tough job trying to pick just three people out of the many who apply but we feel that the three we do choose each year have all shown the maturity and responsibility needed to accept a substantial scholarship award.
