About the scholarship
The scholarship was founded in 1945 by Arthur Sims and Agnes Marion Sims with the object of promoting the study of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Medicine and such other subjects as may from time to time be determined.
The scholarship is awarded for outstanding merit and promise in the subjects of Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics or Medicine, or in any other cognate subject which the Academic Board of the University of Canterbury may from time to time designate so as to give the scholar an opportunity for further study or research at some institution in Great Britain approved by the Academic Board.
Entry requirements
The Sims Empire Scholarship is offered annually to graduates of a University in New Zealand who were born in New Zealand or who, at the time of application, have been resident in New Zealand for a period of 7 years or more.
