About the scholarship
For students enrolled in a master or doctoral degree with a focus on agriculture or horticulture. This scholarship was established in 2017 by Peter Densem from Tauranga marking the year he turned 100. Mr Densem was a teacher and principal and served in World War II as a Fleet Air Arm navigator. We're looking for talented, high-achieving students who would otherwise struggle to pay for their study.
