Review the Mina McKenzie Scholarship Fund Trust Deed prior to the 11 June 2025 AGM, where it will be voted on to accept/not accept changes.

Mina McKenzie scholarship: Background Briefing for Museum Aotearoa Members

You are familiar with the proud legacy of Mina McKenzie, but many of you may not be aware that Museums Aotearoa runs a scholarship in Mina’s name specifically to support the careers of members.

For more than two decades this scholarship has been under-utilised and offered ad-hoc. Our aim is to give members certainty around access to and availability of scholarships by making a $4,000 Mina McKenzie Scholarship available every two years.

At this year’s AGM we will ask members to vote to approve changes to the Trust Deed governing the scholarship to enable more scholarships to be awarded to members. 

We have prepared a briefing for members including some frequently asked questions.

We welcome your questions and views ahead of AGM so we can ensure the suggested changes align with your aspirations for this scholarship. Please contact MA mail@museumsaotearoa.org.nz
