New Zealanders are well known for their Kiwi can-do approach to life and even with a population of just 4.4 million people, the likes of Lorde, Lydia Ko and Peter Jackson go to show what amazing accomplishments can be achieved. 

Launching its 2015 Scholarships, AMP is searching out talented, passionate and determined Kiwis who are ready to do their thing and own their tomorrow, by applying for an AMP Scholarship.

Applications to the AMP Scholarships open from 27 July and close on 18 September 2015 - and almost anyone is eligible, as there’s no age limit restrictions in place – simply visit www.doyourthing.co.nz to get started.

Jeff Ruscoe, Chief Customer Officer, at AMP says: “AMP has one of the largest scholarship funds of its kind and over the last 17 years, has provided over $2million to help more than 160 Kiwis achieve and do their thing.”
