Do you want to study at University next year but are wondering where the money for books and fees is going to come from?
Have you been picked for a regional or national sports team, but can't afford the equipment and travel that is demanded to keep up your training?
Do you want to run a programme to help victims of drug abuse in your local community, but don't have a place to hold it?
Well we may be able to help you find what you need.
One of the electronic resources which we offer Rodney Libraries card holders is access to FundView and Breakout. These two New Zealand databases providing information on funding, scholarships, awards and grants available to both community groups and individuals to assist them in their community, academic, artistic, sporting, research and other personal development endeavours. There are 581 schemes open for funding applications on Fundview which deals with community groups and 1,732 options available for grants and scholarships listed at Breakout which helps the individual. Locally funding is available from the Creative Communities Arts Funding scheme and the Rodney District Council National Heritage Fund amongst others. And I know there are local students out there who have gained scholarships to help them in their tertiary study.
Remember all you need to do is go to the Rodney District Libraries e-resources webpage, click on the site you want to go to and have your library card and PIN number ready to start your journey to the future. If you have any queries just ask us next time you are in the library and we will give you a guided tour.
Good luck and have a fantastic day.
