VUW Jack Pearce Research Scholarship in History 2027

The scholarship is in memory of Jack Pearce (1911-1994) who wanted to go to university but was unable to do so as a young man. University education was rare in those days, there were no grants and his father probably reasoned that as he and his five brothers had all achieved success in life with only a secondary education, further education was unnecessary for his son. The scholarship named in Jack Pearce's memory was established by Jack's daughter, the late Brenda Joyce. As a result of this scholarship, many young people will have opportunities for further education that Brenda and her father Jack would have cherished.

The Jack Pearce Research Scholarship in History established through the Victoria University of Wellington Foundation, offers students the opportunity to gain postgraduate experience in the area of History.
