About
Wakefield Scholarships are for persons intending to pursue a course of advanced study or research at the Institute of Criminology. Scholarships are awarded from the benefaction of Mrs Priscilla Mitchell (née Wakefield) in memory of her brother, Captain Edward Roger Wakefield, and also in recognition of the historic work of her forebears, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Daniel Bell Wakefield, William Hayward Wakefield, and Arthur Wakefield in the development of New Zealand, South Australia, and Canada in the nineteenth century.
Wakefield Scholarships are open to any person who was born or educated in Australia, Canada, or New Zealand. If two or more candidates born or educated in Australia are equally well qualified, preference is given to a candidate who was born or educated in South Australia. Scholarships are awarded annually, but Wakefield Scholars are eligible for re-election, provided that the tenure of a Scholarship does not normally exceed three years in all.
For applicants/current MSt students, there are four awards available. Each award has a value of £5,000 that is to be used towards travel costs.
