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.

  3. be a candidate for the Year 13 senior school examination (for example, NCEA Level 3, Cambridge exams, International Baccalaureate) or equivalent academic examination.
Value and number awarded:

The value of the award is some £25,000 per annum, which is intended to cover university and college fees, and some living expenses.
