Brian Gaynor Initiative – Scholarship in Journalism

The Brian Gaynor Initiative, via the Milford Foundation,
has established a contestable scholarship, named the
Brian Gaynor Scholarship in Journalism, to encourage
and support final year undergraduate students
interested in pursuing journalism, with a focus on
business journalism, as a career.

Brian Gaynor Business Journalism Initiative (the Initiative).
The Initiative was designed to recognise the contribution
that Brian Gaynor, (co-founder of Milford Asset
Management Limited), made to business journalism in
New Zealand, and to help strengthen and promote the
quality and appeal of New Zealand business and economic
writing and journalism.
