Flower Scholarship in Economics

The Flower Scholarship in Economics was established in 2024 from funds donated by the late Bill and Joan Flower, who had a long-standing connection with the University of Waikato, particularly in the area of agribusiness. The scholarship supports students undertaking postgraduate research in economics. This funding opportunity provides financial assistance up to $20,000 for students pursuing taught or research postgraduate degrees in economics and related fields at the University of Waikato. The scholarship reflects the Flowers' commitment to supporting education and research in economics, particularly as it relates to agribusiness and economic development.
