Don Linklater Memorial Bursaries

To honour the contribution made to the Manawatū-Whanganui region and to local government by the late Don Linklater, Horizons Regional Council Chairman 1989-2000, Horizons Regional Council offers a bursary for university study. The Don Linklater Memorial Bursary provides a total of $8,000 NZD per year available for up to four recipients. One of the four bursaries will be considered based on meeting eligibility criteria and the applicant's iwi/hapū connection to the region. This bursary needs to be applied for each year and does not automatically renew. Students must be studying at undergraduate or postgraduate level, either internally or extramurally, in fields relevant to Horizons' work including resource management, environmental planning, environmental engineering and modelling with particular emphasis on river and drainage basin dynamics. Applicants must be from the Horizons region (although they may study outside of it) and be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.
