Scholarship
IN order that the selected Fijian student may commence at the New Zealand University at the beginning of the next academic year (March, 1945), the directors of Morris Hedstrom, Limited, of Fiji, who recently established a £25,000 scholarship fund, are inviting applications immediately.
The drawing up of the trust deed and formalising the rules for the scholarship will take some time to complete, but until such time as these trust funds can be used, Morris Hedstrom, Ltd., in a new and separate gift, will provide for the expenses of the successful candidate.
This year the scholarship winner will be selected by a committee consisting of one member nominated by the Acting- Governor and two members nominated by Morris, Hedstrom, Ltd. Later, it is ex
pected, that selection will be made by some body appointed under terms yet to be drafted.
