The Hector Macaskill Memorial Scholarship was established by the Trustees of the National Library to assist Masters or PhD students undertaking a research degree in Information Studies at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington. The scholarship is specifically designed for students who intend to pursue a research topic in the field of library service or literature for children and young people. This annual scholarship provides financial support to one student per year, helping to advance research in the important field of children's and young people's library services and literature. Recipients are required to demonstrate strong academic and professional librarianship performance, with selection based on the quality of their research proposal and their potential to contribute to library work with children and young people.
