The Carterton District Trust Scholarship

The Carterton District Trust Scholarship was established in 1962 by Ronald Philip Wakelin to support students from the Carterton and Wairarapa South districts in New Zealand. The scholarship assists students pursuing post-primary or university education, helping them continue their studies at the tertiary level. The scholarship is specifically designed for students who are or have been residents of the Carterton and Wairarapa South districts. It supports both students starting their tertiary education and those continuing their studies, with eligibility extending to students who commenced their tertiary course within three years of leaving school. The Carterton District Trust Scholarship is managed and administered by Public Trust, a Crown entity that oversees various trusts and estates in New Zealand. Applications for this scholarship open periodically, with the next application round scheduled to open in November 2026.
