History
First awarded in 1958, the William Lomis Cox Scholarship was established by Norman Cox in the name of his late father. Mr Cox wanted to support Whakatane area students training to be teachers. He hoped they would return to Whakatane to share their knowledge and skills with the new generation of school students.
Applications for 2018
The trustee will not be calling for Scholarship Applications in 2018. We expect to call for application’s again in late 2019 for the 2020 Academic year.
