Ted Delahunty Accountancy Scholarship

The Ted Delahunty Accountancy Scholarship was established by the Ted Delahunty Trust to provide education and research support into accounting and other business activities for the land-based primary industry. Mr. Delahunty was a senior lecturer in Massey University's School of Accounting and Finance from 1978 to 1986. On his retirement, he established the Ted Delahunty Trust, and he died in 2015. This scholarship is available for third-year students enrolled in the Bachelor of Accountancy or the Bachelor of Business (Accountancy) on the Manawatū campus. The award provides up to NZ$10,000 for one year's duration to support undergraduate accounting students who demonstrate academic achievement and financial need. Selection is based on academic background and achievements, with consideration also given to financial need, character, and good citizenship. Recipients must be New Zealand citizens or permanent residents studying at the Manawatū campus. The scholarship recognizes students who combine academic excellence with community involvement and professional experience.
