About the scholarship
The income for these fellowships comes from a substantial bequest by the late Claude McCarthy, who died in Spain in 1978. Mr McCarthy was born in Hororata, West Christchurch in 1888, attended Christchurch Boys' High School 1903 - 7, began university studies in 1907, and graduated BA in 1913. His teaching career was interrupted by war service when he went overseas as a lieutenant in the 24th Reinforcements in 1917. After his return, he graduated MA in 1919 and then went to the United States in 1922. After 25 years there he retired to live on the island of Jersey.
Claude McCarthy Fellowships are available and are aimed at encouraging and supporting doctoral candidates in additional and further study and research.
