About the scholarship
Winifred Pharazyn has been a generous supporter of young singers from the New Zealand School of Music —Te Kōkī for many years. Victoria University of Wellington recognised this in a meaningful and impactful way through an annual scholarship for a voice student supported by opera loving friends. The funds from this earlier scholarship are now exhausted. Winifred and Neil will continue to fund this scholarship, awarded annually to support a student of classical voice with their tuition or other expenses.
