About the scholarship
This scholarship was established in 2017 by Peter Densem from Tauranga marking the year he turned 100. Mr Densem was a teacher and principal and served in World War II as a Fleet Air Arm navigator.
We're looking for talented, high-achieving students who would otherwise struggle to pay for their study.
This is a postgraduate scholarship. You will already have completed your first year of study towards a PhD or a 240-credit master’s degree with a focus on agriculture or horticulture.
When choosing our recipients, we will consider your academic achievements, work ethic and financial need.
