Kate Sheppard Award

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.

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.
