About The University of Auckland:
Founded in 1883, Auckland is now the country’s largest university with 38,500 students, nearly 10,000 of whom graduate annually. The main campus is in the heart of Auckland city and we have four specialist campuses.
Detail:
A sum of money has been generously placed at the disposal of the Council by the Trustees of the Sanders Memorial Fund upon the condition that the income arising from such fund shall be employed in the provision and maintenance of Scholarships for the benefit of children of members of the Mercantile Marine Service or of the Royal Navy or of the Navy of any Commonwealth country and who are ordinarily resident in the Auckland Provincial District. This Scholarship shall be a memorial to the late Lt Commander W. E. Sanders, VC, DSO, RN. Lt Commander Sanders was granted the Victoria Cross in recognition of his conspicuous gallantry, consummate coolness, and skill in command of one of His Majesty’s ships in action. He was drowned in 1917 when his ship, the Prize (one of the ‘mystery’ or ‘Q’ ships) was lost with all hands as the result of an engagement with one or more enemy submarines. In 1998 the Scholarship’s fund was augmented by Professor Graham Simpson, a former Sanders Memorial Scholar.
These scholarships are granted for the benefit of children of members of the Mercantile Marine Service or of the Royal Navy or of the Navy of any Commonwealth country and who are ordinarily resident in the Auckland Provincial Council.

The Selection Committee shall base its recommendation to the Council upon the same matters as those set forth above in paragraphs (a) and (b), and to that end may in its discretion require candidates interviewed or selected for interview to take an examination of a general nature either oral or written. Applications should include evidence as to parents’ membership of the Royal Navy, Navy of any Commonwealth Country, or Mercantile Marine Service.
