A Rotorua student is one of three inaugural winners of the John Waller Memorial Scholarships at the University of Canterbury.
BNZ and PwC New Zealand have announced Matthew Gatenby, 17, is one of the recipients. The other two are from Christchurch.
There were more than 130 applications for the scholarships and these young people stood out from their peers for their combination of outstanding academic results, leadership potential, and involvement in the life of their school and community.
The scholarship programme was established this year to honour the values and professional contribution of former BNZ Board chairman and respected PwC managing partner John Waller, ONZM, FCA.
Matthew plans to study operations and supply chain management.
