Academic Grants and Scholarships:           

I have been lucky to be enough to receive the following academic grants and scholarships:                  

• Cerebral Palsy Society Academic Grant (2013)
  I was one of four people who received an academic grant from the Cerebral Palsy Society. This grant paid for some of my university papers.

• Ian Campbell Scholarship Recipient (2012)
  The Wellington Paraplegic and Physically Disabled Trust offers the Ian Campbell Scholarship. The Ian Campbell Scholarship is for people with physical disabilities who wish to study at a tertiary level or for people who wish to study in the area of disability. I was one of two recipients that year, and the scholarship paid for my first two semesters at university.

*Please note these qualifications were awarded to me, either using variants of my previous legal names Mackenzie Kench or Mkemseahe (Mke) Ninces.
