Information

This award was established in 1973 by the Hollings A L Memorial Trust, which left a bequest to the Victoria University of Wellington to provide financial assistance to disadvantaged students enrolled in the Faculty of Law.

If the Faculty of Law considers there is no candidate of sufficient merit, no award will be made.

If in any year the award is not offered, the funds may be used in a subsequent year.

The recipient will be asked to write a letter of appreciation which will be forwarded appropriately.
