Zachary Gravatt Memorial Scholarship

The Zachary Gravatt Memorial Scholarship was established in 2009 by the friends and family of Zachary Gravatt to commemorate his life. Zachary Gravatt was a student of the University of Auckland from 2006 to 2009 who overcame dyslexia and was a fourth year student doctor at the time of his death. The main purpose of the Scholarship is to fund professional development and/or training for a Year V to VI MBChB student who has overcome a significant personal challenge to succeed with their studies and who has demonstrated excellence in clinical skills. The scholarship provides assistance with study for medical students who have shown resilience and academic achievement despite facing personal obstacles. This annual award supports the continuation of Zachary's legacy by helping students with similar backgrounds pursue their medical education and professional development opportunities.
