Albert and Alexis Dennis Donation

The Albert and Alexis Dennis Donation is a scholarship opportunity offered by Massey University for mature students pursuing distance learning education. Designed for individuals aged 65 years or older, this award provides financial support to help cover academic costs associated with their studies. The scholarship recognizes the importance of lifelong learning and making higher education accessible to senior students who wish to continue their academic pursuits through distance education. The scholarship is valued at $1,500 NZD and is awarded for one year's duration. One award is available annually, and it is open to both full-time and part-time students pursuing either undergraduate or postgraduate qualifications through distance learning at Massey University. The scholarship supports students studying remotely, making it particularly suitable for those who cannot attend in-person classes. Preference in the selection process may be given to candidates who have a disability, demonstrating the scholarship's commitment to supporting diverse learners. Applicants must submit a brief supporting statement outlining their eligibility and intentions, provide a list of academic costs, and if applicable, include a supporting statement from a registered health professional regarding any disability. The scholarship aims to reduce financial barriers for senior distance learners and encourage continued educational engagement among older New Zealanders.
