Network Tasman is pleased to announce that Kilian Cools is the first recipient of the Network Tasman Scholarship. After careful review of all candidates, Kilian was selected for his academic achievements, leadership skills, and commitment.
Kilian grew up in the Moutere area and went to school in Richmond. He is presently in the third year of a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree at Canterbury University, and he is aiming to specialise in electricity transmission and distribution systems, which aligns well with the interests of Network Tasman.
Kilian has demonstrated a strong dedication to his studies and has shown promise in making a positive impact in his chosen field. As the recipient of this scholarship, he has received a $10,000 contribution toward his academic fees for this year as well as the offer of work with Network Tasman over the university holidays.
The Network Tasman Scholarship Scheme was introduced to support local aspiring students pursuing a career in the electrical engineering field. The annual scholarship is offered to students from the Nelson / Tasman region who are studying toward a diploma or degree in electrical engineering. Applications open in August each year.
