2019 Horowhenua Youth Excellence Scholarships

A total of 12 scholarships across the four different categories listed above were available in 2019. Recipients and their whānau were invited to attend the Civic Awards evening on Thursday, 29 November 2019, when the awards were presented.

These acknowledge excellence in academic subjects, arts and culture, community service, and sport, by young people aged between 12 and 24.
