About the scholarship
The Edward C Grant Memorial Medical Scholarship was established in 2009. Dr Peter Grant wished to commemorate his father with a full, four-year scholarship to the University of Otago Medical School, for a student admitted to the medical programme who is from the East Coast of the North Island, a place of importance to Dr Grant. At the request of Dr Peter Grant, the name, value and tenure of the scholarship was amended from 2013. The Scholarship was further amended in 2023, with the aim of clarifying and simplifying its financial framework and terms of payment.
