Scholarship recipient - Grace Budge
Posted on Friday 04 August, 2023
At the NZ Institute of Building we want to support the Next Generation of the Building Industry. We know it’s tough to be a student right now and that for many, money is tight. We want to help relieve a little of that stress for one of our Next Gen members.
We are travelling the country to give students the chance to impress us with their passion and nab a $2,000 NZIOB scholarship. We have asked students studying in the built environment to prepare a ‘shark tank’ style pitch where they talk about their passion, a project, or even just themselves.
The main aim is to show our ‘sharks’ their potential and their passion for the industry.
Grace Budge secured one of these $2,000 scholarships with her pitch at our event in Ara in Ōtautahi | Christchurch on 19 July.
We asked Grace a few questions to get to know her better. We look forward to keeping in touch with her and seeing her reach her goals.
