The Lovell and Berys Clark Scholarships were established from a gift from the late Mr Lovell Clark and Mrs Berys Clark in December 2002. Mr and Mrs Clark, who farmed together in South Auckland for many years, wished to make a major contribution to the scholarship of students undertaking study at a postgraduate level. Mr Clark was never able to undertake formal tertiary study himself and wishes to make it possible for others to enjoy what he had missed. Mrs Clark completed a degree by distance at Massey University and values the opportunity she had.
