LW Nelson Junior Scholarship

The LW Nelson Junior Scholarship was established in 1958 by Northland farmer and businessman Laurence William Nelson to support students who wish to attend boarding school in the Northland area of New Zealand. The Scholarship is managed and administered by Public Trust and provides annual funding towards boarding fees for a period of three years. The scholarship is specifically designed for young students aged 13 years or less who reside in the Northland Area within the boundaries of the districts of Kaipara, Whangarei and the Far North, and who would not be able to attend school otherwise than as a boarder. All scholarships are conditional on the applicant being enrolled at a school within the Trust's funding region. Successful applicants receive an annual sum towards boarding fees, with the requirement to request scholarship continuation for year 2 and year 3 boarding fees. Applications open annually from 15 September to 31 October, though this timeframe may change from time to time.
