LW Nelson Agricultural Scholarship

The LW Nelson Agricultural Scholarship was established in 1958 by Northland farmer and businessman Laurence William Nelson. The Scholarship is managed and administered by Public Trust and is offered to students who have career aspirations in the agricultural industry and are studying at an appropriate tertiary provider for a minimum period of three years.
