Miscellaneous:

History of the award: A scholarship was established in 1995 by a gift from BZW (Barclays de Zoete Wedd) Investment Management New Zealand Limited, under the name The BZW Investment Management New Zealand Limited Masters Scholarship in Commerce. In 1997, The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited took over the responsibility for the scholarship, and the scholarship’s name was changed to The Guardian Trust Masters Scholarship in Commerce. In 2014, New Zealand Guardian Trust Funds Management Limited (which, in 2003, had replaced The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited) was disestablished, and the University was informed by the successor companies that a representative associated with the founders of the scholarship was no longer required on the scholarship’s selection committee.
