Sydney Campbell Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship

The Sydney Campbell Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship is provided under the will of Mr Sydney Campbell, who owned the Wairarapa sheep and beef farm Riverside Farm. This scholarship supports students from the Wairarapa district who are passionate about agriculture and horticulture and want to take their knowledge back to the region. The scholarship is for students enrolled in an undergraduate degree with a focus on agriculture and food, animal science and welfare, veterinary science, or environmental science as it relates to biodiversity of farming. Recipients must be undertaking an appropriate undergraduate degree at Massey University and intending to enrol full time in the year following the award. Applicants must normally be domiciled in Wairarapa (south of Woodville and between the coast and the Tararua/Remutaka Ranges) and have attended secondary school in this district or be normally domiciled in the district but attended secondary school outside of the district. Selection considers academic achievements, other scholarships or bursaries held, and the applicant's inclination to return and live in the Wairarapa upon completing their degree.
