About the scholarship

Established in 2024 by the University of Otago and generously funded by Dr Judith Johnston BA(Hons) Otago, MA Toronto, PhD Auckland, this scholarship aims to support and encourage female enrolment in 200- and 300-level papers in Geography at the University of Otago. The scholarship will be awarded annually to one female undergraduate Geography student who, without the benefit of an entrance scholarship, would find it too difficult to afford to (return to) study.
