About the scholarship
These scholarships were established in 2003 by the Trustees of the Woolf Fisher Trust to honour Woolf Fisher as co-founder, with Maurice Paykel, of the company Fisher & Paykel Limited (1934) and foundation chairman of New Zealand Steel Limited (1965). Up to three scholarships are offered each year to enable students of outstanding academic ability to undertake their doctoral studies or equivalent at the University of Cambridge.
