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:

No longer available after 2022

Availability in 2022

The Foundation is offering one scholarship of $5,000 in 2022.

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 2022 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).
