The Riccarton Rotary Youth Trust was established by the Rotary Club of Riccarton as the result of a significant grant from a Riccarton resident, Mr Brian Moore. The Trust provides grants through its Grants Committee to approved applicants, currently totalling around $85,000 annually.
The purpose of the scholarship is to attract students who face significant financial and/or personal challenges which might otherwise prevent them from considering entry to tertiary education.
It is aimed at students who would undertake a full-time study programme at the University of Canterbury, Lincoln University or the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology.
While preference will be given to students who have been educated within the Riccarton area, applications are open to those from the Canterbury region. Applicants may be school leavers or may have been on a gap year.
