Harry Tolley and L J Wild Scholarship

The Harry Tolley and L J Wild Scholarship is awarded to a student enrolled in the second or third year of a Bachelor of Agricultural Science, Bachelor of Horticultural and Plant Systems, or a Bachelor of Agribusiness at Massey University. This scholarship arises from money provided by Merle Palmer Elliot and Joyce Marion Boyce in memory of their father, Harry Tolley of Hodder and Tolley Limited, and Dr L. J. Wild, founding Headmaster of Feilding Agricultural High School. In 2022, Rosemary and Grahame Bolton donated additional funds to increase the value of the scholarship. Rosemary Bolton is the daughter of one of the original benefactors, Merle Elliot, and the granddaughter of Harry Tolley. The scholarship provides financial support of typically $5,000 for one year's duration. Preference is given to former pupils of Feilding High School. Applicants must have completed at least 120 credits towards their degree and be enrolled full time in the year of award. Applicants must be domiciled in New Zealand. Selection is based on academic merit in studies undertaken to date, as well as the benefit of this award to the student's study. One award is available annually.
