Kate Sheppard Award

The Kate Sheppard Memorial Award Trust was set up to provide an opportunity for a woman to develop her potential by undertaking further study or research in areas of value in the community in NZ.


The Trust was established by a group of Christchurch women, who were also responsible for the commissioning of the Kate Sheppard National Memorial which commemorates the 1993 centennial of women’s suffrage in New Zealand.   

This award (amount set either annually or biennially depending on funds by the Kate Sheppard Memorial Award Trust Advisory Committee) is available to women who are undertaking a special project or post graduate study of value to the wider NZ community. 

Application forms can be downloaded here  or can be sent to you directly by e-mail ([email protected] )  More information on this award can be found here .
