Laurie Cameron Scholarship

The Laurie Cameron Scholarship was established in 2006 in memory of the late Laurie Cameron C.B.E., Q.S.M., by his family. Laurie Cameron was a long-time and committed member of the Board of the Institute of Policy Studies at Victoria University of Wellington, which he chaired for several years. He was especially concerned to ensure private sector engagement with issues of governance, and to promote understanding of the ethical basis of behaviour in both the public and private sectors. The scholarship will be awarded to a student who is undertaking research at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington on the interactions and relationship between the public and private sectors in the area of policy and management. Students may be enrolled in one of the School of Government's post-experience programmes (Masters of Public Management, Masters of Public Policy, Masters of Strategic Studies), Masters of Commerce, Masters of Arts, or a PhD in the area of public/private sector relations in policy and management. The scholarship has a tenure of one year with a possible extension for a second year. Recipients are expected to act as Ambassadors for Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington and participate in appropriate events or marketing if requested.
