About the scholarship

The Kate Sheppard Memorial Award Trust was set up to provide an opportunity for a woman to develop her potential by undertaking further study or research in areas of value in the community in NZ. This award is available to women who are undertaking a special project or postgraduate study of value to the wider NZ community. The Trust was established by a group of Christchurch women, who were also responsible for the commissioning of the Kate Sheppard National Memorial which commemorates the 1993 centennial of women's suffrage in New Zealand.
