2024 Annual Awards
Each year, you’re invited to join the rest of the First Foundation community to celebrate the achievements of our talented scholars at our Annual Awards evening. The event welcomes a new cohort of outstanding Year 12 students and congratulates those graduating. It’s also an opportunity to thank everyone who makes the programme a success.
Jubilee year
This year, our Awards night will be extra special — thanks to you, we have 25 years of evidence showing you’re helping ignite real, generational change! It’s an opportunity to look at the incredible contributions from mentors, schools, scholarship partners, donors, whānau, and more. So many people have played such a vital role.
One of the best parts of the event is the Trustee Awards. These recognise scholars who stood out among their generation for their exceptional resolve and achievement. They’re young people who have navigated their journeys with remarkable determination and genuine leadership. Watch their videos here.
