Kate Sheppard Memorial Award
The Kate Sheppard Memorial Award Trust was set up to establish an annual award to provide an opportunity for a woman to develop her potential by undertaking further education, study, research or training in areas which are of value in the community of New Zealand.
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 annually by the Kate Sheppard Memorial Award Trust Advisory Committee) is available to women holding NZ Citizenship or Permanent Residency who are undertaking a special project or post graduate study of value to the wider NZ community.
The Committee has decided that the 2012 Kate Sheppard Award will be set at $2,500. Applications close on the 30th June 2012 The award presentation is on the 19th September and the winner will be notified in late August. All applicants will be notified at the same time.
