Catherine Baxter Dairy Scholarship

This scholarship is funded from an endowment to Massey Agricultural College by Thomas Nimmo Baxter in 1933, an Auckland barrister and solicitor, in memory of his wife Catherine Baxter (nee Stuart) who died in 1930. It has been supplemented by funds provided by the organising committee of the Massey University Dairy Farmer Conference held in Taranaki in 1989.

These are postgraduate scholarships. You will want to undertake research in the field of or related to dairy science.

You must:

• be studying full-time
• be an enrolled Massey University student
• be studying in a specific subject area.

Include the following with your application:

• your academic transcripts for any tertiary study completed outside of Massey University
• a statement on how receiving this scholarship would be of benefit to you and your study, and how you believe you meet the intentions of this award, with particular reference to the relevance of your study to dairy science
• a copy of your Massey University transcripts and current enrolment. You can download your Study History Report from the Student Portal, under ‘Results and Exams’.

When choosing our recipients, we will consider your academic achievements, the relevance of your studies to dairy science and other scholarships or bursaries you hold.
