About this opportunity

This Scholarship was established by W.H. (Bill) Vaughan Trust to assist a high school student to attend Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington to study Mathematics. W.H. (Bill) Vaughan worked for many years writing, printing and distributing model solutions for students studying for University Entrance Bursary and Scholarship Examinations. One scholarship will be awarded annually to a student who has completed their final year at High School and is enrolled in their first year of full-time study majoring in Mathematics at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington. The successful recipient will be selected based on their Year 13 grades in Mathematics and a written application including a statement setting out reasons for wanting to study Mathematics at university. The scholarship provides $3,000 (subject to available funds) to support first-year mathematics students, and recipients are expected to act as ambassadors for the university.
