About the scholarship
The Award was established in 2014 with a generous donation from Eileen (Sunny) Barnes, a close friend of William and Betty Bell. William and Betty Bell both grew up in the Great Depression and thus had an understanding of financial need.
The main purpose of the Award is to assist a student who is the first member of their immediate family to attend university and who, because of financial hardship, may not otherwise be able to undertake a university degree.
How To Apply
Scholarship applications will usually open around six weeks before the closing date. Please read the regulations carefully to be sure you are eligible before you apply.
Entry requirements
'- To take up and be paid the Award, the recipient must be enrolled in the first year of an undergraduate degree in the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Auckland.
- The Award is tenable by full-time students who are citizens or permanent residents of New Zealand.
- The basis of selection will be academic ability based on results at Level 2 or higher in the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) or an equivalent qualification for school-leavers; results of the most recent year of tertiary education for applicants who have completed study at another institution; results from a Foundation programme; or education and training background for students being considered for entry to the university under Special Admission. The personal circumstances of applicants will also be taken into consideration including demonstrated financial hardship, whether the applicant is the first member of their family to attend a university, and their motivation to succeed at University (see Notes I-II).
