Tuapeka County Bursary

The former Tuapeka County Council established a bursary for students studying towards a tertiary qualification. The applicants must be resident in one of the former county areas and aged between 18 and 25 years. This is administered by a panel of trustees appointed by both the Clutha District Council and the Roxburgh Community Board of the Central Otago District Council.

Further details of the bursary fund are available from the Corporate Services Administrator or Council Service Centres at Lawrence and Tapanui.

The SPARC Rural Travel Fund is designed to help subsidise travel for junior teams participating in local sport competition. 

Application for the SPARC Rural Travel Fund is open to rural sports clubs and rural school teams with young people aged between 5-19 years who require subsidies to assist with transport expenses to local sporting competitions (this excludes travel to regional or national events).

This scheme runs one funding round each year, with applications usually called for from mid-October.
