Aiden Varan

Kristin School, Auckland
Melbourne National Scholarship, 2007
Bachelor of Science

"Having a scholarship is three-part for me: Firstly, it provides great financial relief for my family, meaning that I do not have to be so worried about the price of my studies on their lives. Secondly, the financial aid of the scholarship eases the need to work during university to support myself, so that I can focus more time and mental energy to studying. Finally, and probably most importantly for me, it's a reminder that you have the potential and skills to achieve and study anything that you want. It's a positive reinforcer to always work towards your goals."
