Scholarship Award Recipients 2007

The Horowhenua Youth Scholarships have been an initiative that has now been running for four years.  The youth scholarship idea was first put together in 2004.  This was so successful that this is now an annual event to aid the youth of the Horowhenua to reach their goals and acknowledge their dreams. 

Over 60 applications were received in 2007 from young persons between the ages of 10 to 18 from across the district.  Categories for the awards, as in previous years, were in the areas of sports, performing arts, academic, youth development, extraordinary or interest and hobby.

An Award Evening was held on Thursday, 29 November 2007 at the Horowhenua District Council, in conjuction with the Civic Honours Awards.
