Te Rūnanga o Moeraki invited the recipients and members of their whānau to a dinner at the marae on the Saturday evening of our June rūnanga meeting weekend (6 June), where they were presented with their scholarship. Not all of the recipients were able to attend and be presented with their cheques but we wish them all well in their studies and for a bright future.

Over the page are pictures of some of the scholarship recipients.
