Additional Information:
The Wakefield University of Canterbury Scholarship was established in 2023, to replace the Edward Gibbon Wakefield Doctoral Scholarship. It is endowed by Mrs Priscilla Wakefield Mitchell of Totnes, Devon, in memory of her great-great-uncle Edward Gibbon Wakefield and his three brothers, all of whom inspired the founding of Aotearoa New Zealand. The scholarship is also dedicated to the memory of Mrs Mitchell’s grandfather, Charles Marcus Wakefield, the distinguished diarist, who surveyed so much of early Waitaha Canterbury, and lastly to the memory of her brother Edward Roger Wakefield, who was killed in action in the Balkans in World War II while serving with the Commandos. Roger Wakefield was a graduate of Christ Church, Oxford. The Wakefield Trust, founded by Mrs Priscilla Wakefield Mitchell, also established a similar endowment at Christ Church, Oxford, to support The Christ Church Oxford Wakefield Graduate Scholarship.
