About the scholarship

Established by the University of Otago in 2026, with funding derived from a generous gift in 1992 to the English Department by Mrs O S Cameron in memory of her late husband, Professor Gregor Cameron. The aim behind this award is to encourage and support excellence in the postgraduate study of English literature, particularly Renaissance and Medieval literature.
