Milking cows, patrolling beaches, and cleaning colleges are some of the jobs local students have tackled this summer, as they endeavour to save for university.
But, an easier way to boast their study savings has just come the way of 18 Bay of Plenty students, thanks to the Bay of Plenty Education Trust.
Last week, six Eastern Bay of Plenty and a dozen Western Bay of Plenty students, were presented with a Bay of Plenty Education Trust Science, Technology and Emerging Industries Scholarship, each valued at $5750.
The Bay of Plenty Education Trust awards scholarships annually to students from colleges along the Western and Eastern Bay of Plenty coastline.
This year 18 scholarships have been awarded, with a value of $103,500.
