Scholarships and awards

This bursary was established in 1964 from the estate of Janet McLennan. Janet was intensely interested in the land and fully appreciated the importance to New Zealand of educational work such as that carried out by Massey University. Her husband, John, came to New Zealand from Scotland in 1900. From 1904, he farmed at Masterton until his death in 1929.
