The Colin Davey Scholarship in Music

The Colin Davey Scholarship in Music supports highly talented and dedicated students studying music with performance and musical composition components at the University of Waikato. Valued at $8,000, the scholarship aims to foster excellence and creativity in the next generation of musicians. The scholarship was established in 2025 from a generous bequest by the late Colin Lester Davey, with funds held and overseen by the Public Trust. The University receives a share each year via the University of Waikato Foundation. The scholarship will first be offered in 2026, with one scholarship awarded annually in perpetuity. Applicants must be enrolled in a Bachelor of Music, Master of Music, or Doctor of Music programme that includes performance and/or musical composition components, have completed at least 120 points of study at the University, and achieved a minimum B average across their most recent 120 points.
