About the scholarship
The scholarship, which is made possible by the generous gifting of funds by the 2009-2017 Chancellor, Dr John F Ward, was established by the University of Otago Council in 2019 to support students who have demonstrated academic ability and who have a disability that makes attending University a challenge. Applications are open to students who attended their high school years in Southland, New Zealand.
