About the scholarship
Established in 2017 by the Trustees of the Bridget James and Marion Robinson Charitable Trust, this scholarship recognizes the contributions of James and Marion Robinson to the University of Otago and the wider community in Physiology and Human Nutrition. It supports postgraduate students returning to university study after a break or those who, due to personal circumstances, are not eligible for usual scholarships. In 2023, eligibility was extended to include postgraduate students involved in cancer research.

Applicants must also be returning to university study after a break, and/or who through their personal circumstances are not eligible for usual scholarships.
