WALTER JONES SCHOLARSHIPS
These scholarships were endowed in 2000 by the Carlisle Charitable Trust to support undergraduate students in the
Science Faculty to complete their degrees who by reason of financial difficulty may not otherwise do so. In 2009 Mrs W
Jones on behalf of the Carlisle Trust requested the name be changed in honour of Professor Walter Jones.
1.
The scholarships shall be known as the Walter Jones Scholarships.
2.
Each scholarship shall be awarded annually to a New Zealand citizen enrolled full-time in the final year of a BSc
degree or the penultimate year or final year of a BSc(Hons) degree. To qualify, the candidate must have at least a
grade point average of B+ (6.0) over the previous course history. The tenure of each scholarship shall be one
year. A successful candidate in the penultimate year of a BSc(Hons) may reapply for the final year.
3.
Up to two scholarships shall normally be awarded each year by the Council of the University of Canterbury on the
recommendation of a Selection Committee, comprising
i.
the Vice-Chancellor or nominee;
ii.
the Dean of the Faculty of Science;
iii.
the donor, or donor’s representative.
4.
In recommending the awards, the Selection Committee shall take into account:
a)
financial need;
b)
the candidate’s potential contribution to New Zealand, as evidenced by personal qualities such as
initiative, leadership potential, social skills and involvement in extracurricular activities, as well as by
academic performance.
To assist the Selection Committee, as part of the application process, students will be required to submit a written
statement on a topic to be prescribed each year by the donors in consultation with the Dean of Science.
5.
The Selection Committee may also consider favourably those applicants who have not come to university to
study directly.
6.
The scholarships may be held with any other bursary, scholarship or award unless the conditions of the other
awards preclude this. However, the holding of any other awards, and the candidate's financial circumstances, will
be taken into account in determining the award of the scholarships.
7.
Each scholarship will be paid, in full, at enrolment.
8.
The scholarship may be terminated by the Council on receipt of an adverse report from the Selection Committee
on the academic progress of the scholar. Where the scholarship is terminated, the scholar may be required to
repay part or all of the scholarship and the funds be used to award an additional scholarship in any year.
9.
Conditions of the award of the scholarships may be varied from time to time by the Council after consultation with
the trustees or trustees’ representative.
10.
Applications for the scholarships are to be made on the application form available from and forwarded to the
Scholarships Office of the University of Canterbury by 1 November in the year preceding the year of tenure.
NOTE: The current value of the scholarship is tuition fees at the New Zealand Domestic Rate.
