Speaker 1: They're now accepting applications for this year's round of scholarships.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,680

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: three new ones to the lineup.

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,560

Speaker 2: of automotive training.

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: There might be a few people inspired by the Bathurst

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: on the weekend just being.

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: Might be because crikee there's a lot of people involved

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: in those teams.

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: We also have taken on board the EA Networkscore, so

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: we've got two scholarships on offer from EA Networks. Both

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: are worth up to five thousand dollars per year of

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 2: study remaining. Oh, I know, and that is for people

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: who are looking to go into the electrical industry, particularly

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: if they're doing things like electrical engineering, but other things

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: that align with that, like systems administration or HR or

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: health and safety or accounting, anything that would align with

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: that would be eligible for that scholarship.

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: Fixing the lines, I know.

29
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: And there's also the possibility of work during the holiday period,

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: so not only could you get some fantastic on the

31
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: job work experience, but some paid work during your university

32
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: holiday breaks.

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Neat, I know.

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: We do have some scholarships that are specifically targeted to subjects,

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: and that just comes from the passions of our donors.

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: We have a number of scholarships for health science or

37
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: for agriculture, and that really is just because the people

38
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: who made those scholarships possible, that was their thing, that

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 2: was their passion. But we also have some general scholarships,

40
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: so please don't think that we only had scholarships for

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: a particular type of study. We really do have scholarships

42
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: for everything, and not just for tertiary study. We also

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: had scholarships available for people doing trade apprenticeships, whether that

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: be beauty therapy and hairdressing or building or painting or

45
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: whatever it is. Yeah, it's great.

46
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: There's a pretty special milestone in our sites.

47
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: This year, Yes, with the awarding of these scholarships, will

48
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: surpass one million dollars in scholarships. I know. It's amazing, so.

49
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: Much more than just the money, though, isn't it. You

50
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: must get from oneful remind us all the time of

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: what these scholarships enable mid Cantabrians to take on the world.

52
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, that is so true and a really

53
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: good example of that. Last year we awarded the one

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 2: hundredth JCS scholarship and as part of that we sort

55
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: of reached out to some of our first recipients and

56
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: we got this wonderful email back from a woman who

57
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: received a Nashburnd and jc's scholarship in the early days,

58
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: and she decided to do an outward bound course. Wrote

59
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,279
Speaker 2: us this incredible email and said that that course absolutely

60
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: changed her life and she found a real passion for building.

61
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: She did an apprenticeship here in mid Canterbury, and then

62
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: sometime later she moved to Marlborough. She's built her own

63
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: home and she has her own company now that she runs.

64
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: And she said, just being able to her excess that

65
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: outward Bound scholarship completely changed my outlook on life. And

66
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: look at what I've achieved, and it's all because of

67
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: that scholarship.

68
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Funny enough, that's the same scholarship that Liz McMillan was

69
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: awarded and also put toward outward bounds. So there we go,

70
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: creating builders and mayors alike. To find out more about
