About the scholarship
This fund was set up on the retirement of former Principal David Stewart, our College’s longest serving Principal (24 years). Funds are held by the Laidlaw College Foundation, and controlled and distributed by the Laidlaw College Scholarships Committee. Its purpose is to provide scholarships for needy students of promise in their second or third year of study at Laidlaw College. Where possible the contribution of the Nelson Christian Trust to this fund will be taken into account when considering applications from students from the Nelson region.
