The top performers in the 2010 NZ Scholarship examinations have been named by NZQA.

Premier Awards carry a monetary award of $10,000 each year for up to three years of tertiary study.

I would like to heartily congratulate each and every student on their award, and wish them all the best for their future,” said NZQA Deputy Chief Executive Qualifications, Bali Haque.
