Peter Kermode Scholarship

The Peter Kermode Scholarship was established in 2018 and is funded by Colliers in memory of Peter Kermode, who completed the Wellesley Programme (now known as the Tertiary Foundation Certificate) in 2001 and went on to become a highly respected Commercial Property Broker at Colliers. The Scholarship provides $5,000 towards tuition fees for a New Zealand Citizen or Permanent Resident who has completed the Tertiary Foundation Certificate (TFC) programme and intends to enrol full-time in an undergraduate degree in the following year. The main purpose of the Scholarship is to support a student in their first year of undergraduate study after graduating from the University of Auckland Tertiary Foundation Certificate programme. The successful applicant will have demonstrated qualities in their TFC year that were characteristic of Peter Kermode: empathy and an understanding of others, grit, diligence, commitment, and the ability to overcome adversity. The scholarship is offered annually and is valued at $5,000 as a tuition fees credit with a tenure of one year.
