University of Otago RJH Daughters of Refugees Fanny Evans Scholarship

Established in 2016 by the University Council, from a generous donation by Sir Robert Jones and with support from the William Evans Fund. This scholarship fund assists young women from refugee backgrounds to complete a university degree. It presents an opportunity for young women from refugee backgrounds who aspire to a tertiary qualification but are denied the opportunity because of family circumstances as refugees. The scholarship supports women to complete an undergraduate degree at the University of Otago, requiring applicants to be fully committed to completion and highly motivated to achieve.
