It is also in recognition of the benefits he derived in his career with Shell International from his Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) degree awarded in 1935.
The scholarship will be tenable by a student currently enrolled for the final year of the B.E.(Hons) (Civil) degree at the University of Canterbury.
