Murray Richards Bursary

The Murray Richards Bursary is an undergraduate or postgraduate award for students studying horticulture at Massey University. This bursary arises from a fund established in 2001 as a memorial to Murray Richards, an Associate Professor in the former Department of Horticulture at Massey University, who taught horticulture from 1946 to 1984. The bursary provides financial support to one student per year who demonstrates high achievement in their studies. When selecting the recipient, the university considers academic achievements and other scholarships or bursaries held, with preference given to postgraduate students. The award supports students pursuing qualifications with a focus on horticulture at either the undergraduate or postgraduate level, whether studying full-time or part-time.
