About the scholarship
A $12,000 Scholarship for Pasifika students enrolling in Part III or Part IV of an LLB or LLB(Hons) degree. The Scholarship was established in 2022 to honour and celebrate the legacy of the late Olive Malienafau Nelson, the first Pacific graduate, the first Samoan graduate, one of the first woman graduates of Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland and the first woman to practice law in Samoa, where she made a notable contribution to drafting the country's constitution. The Scholarship is funded by the Olive Malienafau Nelson Legacy Fund, which was established by the Sir Michael Jones Foundation, with the purpose of encouraging excellence in academic study, leadership, and service by Pasifika students in the Faculty of Law.
