About the scholarship
Established in 2022 by the University of Otago through a generous donation from David and Phyllis Lacey, made in memory of David's mother, the late Mrs Monica Lacey, and the late Mr. Sam Bishara, a well-known and respected Neurosurgeon appointed to the Dunedin Hospital's neurosurgery unit in 1966. The purpose of the Scholarship is to assist students to undertake the one-year research degree Bachelor of Medical Sciences with Honours (BMedSc(Hons)). Its objective is to promote further research into the field of neurology with an emphasis on epilepsy.
