Ryan will study accounting at the University of Otago from next year with this scholarship reimbursing him for a large proportion of his tuition fees for each year as he works towards a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He will also be offered work at the firm during university holidays with a full-time job awaiting him at the end of his tertiary education.

Following an interview and selection process, senior partner at Clarke Craw Ltd Gavin Craw (1961-65) presented Ryan with his contract this week.

The scholarship forms part of a growing list of bursaries and scholarships being offered through the Foundation.

Already being administered are scholarships set up by our Patron Graeme Marsh (1947-51) to boys entering Otago Boys from Arthur Street School; the Superior Minerals Scholarship for boys wishing to study agriculture at Lincoln University – through Lawrence Alloo (1981-85) – which will be offered for the first time next year along with the Stanley Johnson Scholarship for a boy entering the school at Year 9 level (Stanley Johnson attended Otago Boys 1924-26 with the scholarship initiated by his London-based daughter Ainsley); and the Mason Brothers Scholarship for engineering students, as established by George Mason in honour of his uncles Harold and Percy who attended Otago Boys in the 1896-98 and 1905-06 respectively.
