The original announcement was:
Eileen Bone was a Humanist, educator and teacher. At the end of her teaching career she was teaching at Naenae College near Wellington. When she died in 2000 she left a large sum of money for Humanist purposes, which became the Humanist Trust. To acknowledge Eileen and the importance of Naenae College the Humanist Society of New Zealand has applied to the Humanist Trust for, and been granted, money to offer a scholarship of $1000 a year for a first year of study at Victoria University of Wellington to a pupil of the college.
We expect to award the scholarship twice in 2004. Once to a pupil who has just begun study, and later in the year to a pupil preparing to attend.
The scholarship will be awarded yearly thereafter.
The award is now underway and covered in our awards page.
