Phyllis Augusta Rolfes Scholarship

The PA Rolfes Scholarship Trust was established through the Will of the late Phyllis Augusta Rolfes who died in 1987. This scholarship supports young New Zealand citizens who wish to study overseas to obtain further education in scientific knowledge for the purpose of advancing the standard of scientific knowledge in New Zealand. The scholarship is specifically designed for students who have attended school in Kaikoura for at least 5 years and are between the ages of 18 to 30 at the time the scholarship is awarded. The program aims to enable New Zealand students with a connection to the Kaikoura region to pursue advanced scientific education internationally and bring that knowledge back to benefit New Zealand's scientific community.
