It's 50 years since Auckland Airport opened, and that's a milestone worth celebrating.

To mark this anniversary, Auckland Airport has set up a $150,000 scholarship fund to support the professional development of principals and teachers working in local South Auckland schools. The scholarships will fund full-time and part-time tertiary study and mentoring for some of South Auckland's best teachers and will, in turn, benefit children living in suburbs neighbouring the airport.

The scholarship programme opens for applications on 2 May.
