A Chance to Change a Boy’s Life
Endeavour Scholarship for Year 7, 2017
Buchanan Charitable Foundation Scholarship for Year 5, 2017
We are now seeking applications for 2017 for four places for the Endeavour Scholarship and one place for the Buchanan Charitable Foundation Scholarship.
The Endeavour Scholarship was launched by the Governor-General of New Zealand in October 2001 which is now in its 15th year and the Buchanan Charitable Foundation Scholarship which is now in its fourth year.
The Endeavour Scholarship is open to Maori and Pasifika boys who are currently in Year 6 at their present schools, for Year 7, 2017.
The Endeavour Scholarship provides opportunities for four boys each year to receive an education at King’s School for their Year 7 and Year 8 years. The boys spend their intermediate years at King’s School and are then re-assessed to see whether they qualify to move on to King’s College for their secondary education. Their education at King’s College is also paid by this scholarship should they be successful.
This scholarship is a financial scholarship which includes tuition fees, uniform allowance and other costs. The level of parental contribution is independently assessed and based on the current financial position of the parents.
The Buchanan Charitable Foundation Scholarship is for one boy of any ethnic descent but who could not normally afford an independent school education. This scholarship is for a boy currently in Year 4 and pays the fees for his Year 5 – 8 years at King’s School and then onto King’s College. This scholarship is conservatively valued at $180,000.
Further details and application forms for both scholarships can be found on our website (www.kings.school.nz). Alternatively please call Kirsty Higgs on Phone: 520-7774.
The following are the details with respect to the Endeavour Scholarship application process this year.
- Application papers are currently available for downloading from our school website
- Applications close 9th August 2016;
- Examinations will take place on Tuesday, 16th August 2016 at King’s School;
- Assessments and interviews for short-listed boys will take place end of August.
We certainly hope you will be able to identify students that you can recommend for these programmes.
If you require any further information or copies of the application forms please contact:
