A student’s dream to take part in a student exchange programme has become a reality thanks to the Taranaki Electricity Trust (TET).
Stratford High School Year 12 student Molly Gernhoefer (16) will complete her final year of secondary school education in the United States.
She received $1000 from the TET grant, which will help cover the overall costs of the programme.
“The total cost is about $15000. I’ve saved up $4000 myself, and I’ve also received some funds from a local Lion’s Club as well. The money I’ve received will go towards my host family and my schooling while I’m over there.”
Molly also applied for a scholarship to help with the cost.
