Welcome to our 2022 Scholarship Recipients

December 15, 2021

Covid may have shut schools and tertiary providers around the country for a second year running, however, it did not stop Keystone Trust from having another stellar year as it selected 13 Study Award students, 10 tertiary Key Partner Scholarship recipients and the inaugural Building Intelligence Group Keystone Trust School Leaver scholarship recipient from applications from around the motu. After 40 hours of shortlisting, pre-meetings and deliberations of 208 applications across all scholarships via Zoom, and a further 40 hours of interviews, again all via Zoom, with some 78 extraordinary applicants, we are proud to introduce to you our 2022 student intake which takes our current student cohort to 54.
