Girdlers’ Scholarship

The Worshipful Company of Girdlers has had an association with New Zealand since 1933 and in 1952 resolved to set part of its income aside for the purpose of a scholarship to enable distinguished New Zealand School Students to undertake a degree course at either Oxford or Cambridge.  It is now specifically Corpus Christi College Cambridge.
