Dr G B Battersby made a generous gift to the University in 1987 to establish a trust fund "for the purpose of the advancement of learning in the computer field in New Zealand". Until 2019, to the income from the trust fund was added an annual grant, provided originally by Datacom Group and after 1996 by Trimble New Zealand. The Trimble grant was given in "recognition of the long service provided by the late Dr Battersby to the University and to the computing profession".
