Jack Noel Henderson Scholarship 2010

In accordance with the wishes of the late Jack Noel Henderson, a scholarship has been established to assist pharmacy students. This scholarship is administered by the Pharmaceutical Society of New Zealand Inc (PSNZ Inc).

Mr. Henderson qualified in 1944 (Registration No. 1918) after serving his four year apprenticeship with Crawshaw Pharmacy in Symonds Street, Auckland. He purchased his Avondale pharmacy in the late 1940s and remained there until his retirement in 1980. His contribution to pharmacy in New Zealand is set to continue through his kind bequest. The funds are to be invested and held in perpetuity with the scholarship scheme funded from the investment income.

The scholarship, known as the “Jack Noel Henderson Scholarship”, has been established to assist students, experiencing financial hardship, during their second year of the full time pharmacy course recognised by the Pharmacy Council for registration as a pharmacist.

Two scholarships of $3,000 each will be available, but not necessarily awarded, each year. If the scholarships are awarded they will be paid to the recipient/s in the second semester (approx mid July). The scholarship money will be used to pay actual costs, e.g. enrolment fees, text books etc.
