UC Scholarship was established by LPC director Dr Rod Carr and his wife, Mrs Jenny Carr, in recognition of the commitment of the port workers to maintain port operations after the seismic events that had begun September 2010. A commitment from membership of the LPC?s Board of Directors to also personally contribute to the scholarship?s fund, along with a decision by the LPC to match directors? contributions, allowed for the establishment of an on-going scholarship. In 2022, following a decision by the Lyttelton Port Company to support the scholarship in its entirety, the Company established the Lyttelton Port Company UC Scholarship to replace the earlier scholarship.
