Scholarship awarded

Telford Rural Polytechnic student Jeremy Cornish, of Tapanui, was yesterday awarded the Telford bursary scholarship from Clutha Mayor Juno Hayes during a meeting of the Clutha District Council.

Mr Cornish is in his second year studying for a diploma of rural business.

Seventeen applications were received for the $1500 scholarship, which would help him further his knowledge of farming, so he could manage or own his own farm one day.
