Acorn Foundation Eva Trowbridge Scholarship 2025 at University of Waikato New Zealand

The Acorn Foundation Eva Trowbridge Scholarship was established to financially assist adult students (25 years and over) studying at the University of Waikato Tauranga Campus. Awards are made on academic merit, financial circumstances, leadership, and contribution to the community.

The Acorn Foundation, formed in 2003, is a charitable trust that connects generous people who care with causes that matter, forever. Funds received are invested in perpetuity, and the investment income is used to support community groups and provide scholarships. The Acorn Foundation Eva Trowbridge Scholarship was established in 2008 through a bequest. Eva Trowbridge was born in Sunderland, England and emigrated to New Zealand with her husband, Norman, in 1962. Eva did domestic cleaning at the Tauranga Hospital for 25 years. Norman was a painter for the Railways for many years and died in 1999 (aged 81 years). Eva was a quiet lady who loved everything about England. She was a staunch royalist and loved “red, white and blue”.
