Hard work and dedication has paid off for two Rotorua students who have been offered tertiary scholarships for next year.
Blair Foster, 18, has been offered a University of Auckland scholarship for $20,000 and a Victoria University one of $5000.
Tom Yarrall, 18, has been offered an Otago University Future Leaders scholarship of $6000 and a University of Auckland Business and Economics one of $3000.
Both are boarders at St Paul's Collegiate School in Hamilton.
Tom, the school's current head boy, said he felt "extremely privileged" to have been offered the scholarships.
