About the scholarship
The AV and MJ Mason Trust offers an annual scholarship for students studying publishing at tertiary level in New Zealand.
This scholarship was established by the late Andrew Mason, former literary editor of the New
Zealand Listener and a highly respected book editor. It also acknowledges Andrew Mason’s
father, Malcolm Mason, who was involved in publishing as chair of Reed Publishing in the
1960s and 1970s and was the author of several books and many newspaper opinion pieces.
