New Zealand Top Scholar: Nicholas McKinlay

We would like to congratulate Nicholas (Nico) McKinlay for his remarkable achievement as the Top Subject Scholar for Calculus at the prestigious 2022 Top Scholar Awards ceremony, held on 10 May 2023 at the Grand Hall, Parliament Buildings in Wellington.

The Top Scholar Awards honour the most accomplished student in each New Zealand Scholarship subject, as determined by the New Zealand Scholarship examinations. With a total of only thirtysix Top Subject Scholar Awards given, this recognition is a testament to Nico’s exceptional abilities in Calculus. It is worth noting that Nico undertook the exam as a Year 11 student. A year prior, in 2021 as a Year 10 student, Nico achieved an Outstanding Scholarship for the same subject.
