About the scholarship

The Bowler Ravensdown Scholarship was established from combined funds from the memorial to Dermot G. Bowler, a Massey Agricultural College (later Massey University) staff member from 1946 to 1982, and funds established in 2011 from rebates on Ravensdown fertilisers bought by Massey University's farms. This scholarship is for a postgraduate student studying soil science full time. Preference will be given to those undertaking research in soil water or soil nutrient management.
