The Widex Audiology Scholarship was founded last year in New Zealand to offer a helping hand in a direct financial way to audiology students in New Zealand.
This year's recipient - Joanna Everett -attended Howick College before completing three years of studies at Auckland University where she attained a Bachelor of Science Degree. Only a limited number of places were available this year for the New Zealand Audiology course.
Stefan Goldwater, Managing Director of Widex New Zealand, explains his motivation for founding the Widex Audiology Scholarship, 'I believe in supporting projects which enhance and better people's lives. By supporting audiology students financially we enable them to focus exclusively on their audiology studies. In the long run, this can only be an advantage to the hearing impaired.' Stefan Goldwater adds that the decision was very difficult due to the high calibre of applicants.
The Widex Audiology Scholarship in New Zealand is available for both years of the audiology course.
