Wools of NZ partners with Asthma & Respiratory Foundation
Wools of New Zealand says it has chosen to partner with the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ in an effort to educate Kiwis around the health benefits of wool carpets.
"This $3000 scholarship will be awarded to a health professional to help further his or her studies," says Rural Women New Zealand National president, Wendy McGowan.
"Given our rural focus, we are particularly keen to support someone who has an interest in providing health or disability services in rural communities."
Preference will be given to applicants who are studying at post-graduate level.
Last year the scholarship went to Otago paramedic, Annabel Taylor, who has furthered her studies with a postgraduate diploma in specialty care.
