Advanced Energy Technology Scholarship

Ara is participating in a national Advanced Energy Technology research and development programme in which Ara's goal is to grow the capability and knowledge of learners in this emerging sector. Ara is working in collaboration with a number of research organisations who are researching and developing the next generation of technology for high performance electric motors for the transport sector (aircraft, ships and trains). The purpose of this scholarship is to support and foster Māori, Pacific and women learners who have an interest in this particular sector of Engineering (Mechanical and Electrical/Electronics), who are facing disadvantage and/or inequitable access to tertiary education which would otherwise present a barrier to them in studying engineering. The scholarship provides $2500 annually to support full-time or part-time students enrolled in eligible engineering programmes at Ara Institute of Canterbury.
