Haupatu Scholarship

Rebecca Hounsell - Rock Climbing

14 March 2024

Meet Rebecca Hounsell from Diocesan School for Girls and see how the Haupatu Scholarship has enabled her to study Engineering at UC.

HOW TO APPLY
  • 2023: Represented New Zealand in the Open Women’s Division at the IFC (International federation of Sport Climbing) World Cup in Slovenia
  • Open Women’s National indoor boulder series champion in 2022 & 2023
  • 2023: Made finals for Oceania Olympic qualifiers

Rebecca Hounsell has been awarded a 2024 Sport Scholarship while she studies Engineering at UC. 

Some of Rebecca's future goals are to push the perceived boundaries that females are capable of achieving within the male-dominated sport of rock climbing and to continue competing at an international level to further develop her skills. 

I'm not strong for a girl, I'm just strong.
