This year’s recipient of the Resolve Group Engineering Scholarship is Joanna Jarvie, who is entering her final year at the University of Auckland in 2015, studying for a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours).

Joanna has a particular interest in, and passion for, transport engineering, and says, “I have found it easy to be enthused in this topic due to its relevance to our daily lives… as it provides an opportunity to have an impact in bettering New Zealand communities.” She has been awarded the Scholarship for her consistent academic work, experience in project management and a variety of leadership roles, and her well-rounded extramural interests.

The $5000 scholarship is open to third year Civil and Environmental Engineering students at The University of Auckland. As well as academic excellence, the Scholarship was established to recognise and reward excellent project management and problem solving skills, leadership potential, communication skills, community involvement, and the potential to contribute to the roading industry.
