ANV Dobbs Memorial Scholarship

The ANV Dobbs Memorial Scholarship is open to Year 13 students from Christchurch Boys' High School who are going on to university study. Preference is given to students studying economics as part of a Bachelor's degree. Extended scholarships are awarded to successful applicants in each year of university study at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee. This scholarship was established by Mrs Gwendoline Dobbs in 1994 in memory of her late husband Arthur Newman Vickery Dobbs CBE, a Christchurch Boys' High School Old Boy who died in 1988. Mr Dobbs was former Director General of Education in New Zealand. The scholarship commemorates his lifelong work and interest in education and is managed by Public Trust.
