The Lonsdale Scholarships

The Lonsdale Scholarships were created by the Will of Herbert Lonsdale, a Jeweller from Christchurch, in 1932. The scholarships are open to male students who have attended state primary and/or secondary schools in Nelson for three years and are intending to enrol in a course of study at University of Canterbury. The Will established a committee, which includes the Headmasters of Nelson College and Christchurch Boys' High School, to decide on the recipients of the awards. The scholarship is managed and administered by Public Trust. Recipients must be enrolling for their first year of study at the University of Canterbury.
