2022 Farmer Autovillage Scholarship winners named
The Acorn Foundation was delighted to host an event on Monday 12 December to celebrate the nine recipients of Farmer Autovillage's 2022 scholarships. 

Farmer Autovillage established these scholarships in partnership with the Acorn Foundation as a way to give back to the BOP community in celebration of 30 years in operation. The winning students from Mount Maunganui College, Pāpāmoa College and Te Puke High School each received a $3,000 award to support them in their tertiary studies.

The criteria for selection included a commitment to completing their full programme of study, involvement in their local community, showing resilience, enthusiasm, determination to succeed, and standing out from their peers for their strength of character and leadership qualities. 

We wish these deserving young people the very best in their continued education, and thank Farmer Autovillage for supporting our community in this way.
