New Zealand Redwood Company Scholarship
In February 2018, the Board of the NZIF Foundation agreed to accept a donation from The New Zealand Redwood Company and agreed to establish the New Zealand Redwood Company Scholarship on the terms set out below:
|
Availability in 2021 |
The Foundation is offering one scholarship of $5,000 in 2021. |
|
Purpose: |
Scholarship available to students at the University of Canterbury, enrolled for a Bachelor of Forestry Science. |
|
Funding: |
Donation of NZD 5,000/year for a minimum of five consecutive years from The New Zealand Redwood Company |
|
Size and term of Award |
One scholarship of NZD 5,000/year to be offered annually until the funding pool is exhausted. The Foundation reserves the right to not make an award in any year when, in its opinion, there is no suitable applicant. |
|
Application Process |
The Foundation will annually call for applications for the scholarship and will determine those applicants who will receive the scholarship. The Foundation will notify The New Zealand Redwood Company of the chosen applicant before making the award. Applications should be made on the NZIF Foundation 2021 Applicant Form, see here. |
|
Accounting |
Rather than establishing a separate fund within the Foundation accounts, the Foundation Board has made a commitment to The New Zealand Redwood Company that it will offer the scholarships as described under the heading “Funding” above. This will simplify the Foundation’s accounts (The commitment will be recorded in the accounts each year until the obligations are completed). |
