Our scholarships
Hamilton City Council offers a number of scholarships each year for students who are studying in disciplines in which Council is experiencing difficulty recruiting tertiary educated professionals.
Often these are available for:
- Planning (study programmes offered through the University of Auckland, Waikato University and Massey University)
- Civil Engineering (study programmes offered through the University of Auckland, Waikato University and Canterbury University)
You will have completed the first two years of your degree and be raring to go for the final two years. As the study programme for the degree is different to a Diploma qualification, the scholarship programme is also structured differently, but you still get the same outcome - broad experience, diverse projects, great mentors and a cool job at the end of it.
Fees Paid + Summer Work Experience + Cool Job + Variety = Council's Civil Engineer or Planning Scholarship
PLEASE NOTE: Scholarships are not currently available for the 2010 academic year
Our cadetships
These are designed for students who are part way through studying a Diploma level qualification in Civil Engineering - ideally you'll already been enrolled in the Diploma and will have completed at least your first year of study.
The cadetship offers you a planned rotation that sees you complete your Diploma while working for us. You will get to see how the city gets ready for the V8’s or upgrades its multi million dollar Water & Wastewater plants, as well as day to day operational aspects of civil engineering. We will pair you up with experienced engineers who can help develop your expertise.
Cool Job + Fees Paid + Variety = Council's Civil Engineer Cadetship
Hamilton City Council cadetships and scholarships include:
- Payment of course fees for an approved programme within Civil Engineering or Planning;
- Paid employment with Council during the summer vacation period;
- The provision of relevant work, and appropriate supervision, during the periods of paid work;
- The provision of employment with Council at the completion of the qualification.
They are intended to support the completion of qualifications for students who are studying in the Civil Engineering or Planning disciplines and to provide the recipient with employment on completion.
PLEASE NOTE: Cadetships are not currently available for the 2010 academic year
