First Foundation Scholarship

We talk about our commitment to the future of New Zealand a lot. But we have always thought it important that our actions match our words. This is why we throw our support behind the First Foundation.

This involves a unique four year partnership for academically talented and financially disadvantaged secondary school students in New Zealand. Joshua Hemara, our first First Foundation scholar, is being financially supported through university, while also getting work experience with us during the holiday breaks.
