The Sir Edmund Hillary Scholarship is one of the University of Waikato's premier school leaver scholarships.  It is for those with strengths in three key pillars: 1) high academic achievement, 2) excellence in a sporting code or creative or performing art, and 3) strong leadership qualities or potential.  Recipients will be supported during their studies with a tailored leadership and personal development programme.  Up to 15 scholarships will be awarded each year.  For more information, visit the website: https://www.waikato.ac.nz/scholarships/search/hillary.

CSNZ currently has Jaimee Wilson and Nick Collier from the Performance Pathways as scholarship recipients and former NPS athlete Claudia Paterson.  You can read more about them here http://www.canoeslalomnz.org.nz/News-1/sir-edmund-hillary-scholars-csnz
