Charles W. R. Smith Memorial Scholarship

The Charles W. R. Smith Memorial Scholarship was created in memory of Charles William Robert Smith, who graduated from Massey Agricultural College in 1931 and spent his life farming near Whanganui. His family established this scholarship in his memory to support students pursuing agricultural studies. This scholarship is designed for hard-working second-year undergraduate students who have demonstrated involvement in the agriculture sector. The award recognizes academic achievement, work ethic, community contribution, and considers financial need. Applicants must be able to demonstrate practical experience and activity in support of the agricultural industry, making this scholarship ideal for students with a genuine commitment to the agricultural field.
