About the scholarship

Buster Thomas, a pharmacist from Porirua and latterly in his career Johnsonville, bequeathed funds from his estate to NZPERF to invest and apply the net proceeds to fund the establishment of a scholarship to be known as the Buster Thomas Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is to educate a student who is unable, from his or her available resources, to afford to attend Otago University to graduate as a pharmacist. This scholarship will be awarded every year and provides $5,000 per annum for four years to contribute towards costs associated with study.
