The St Cuthbert’s College Old Girls’ Association Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant, named after former St Cuthbert’s principal Miss Violet Wood, is a prestigious award that recognises and supports St Cuthbert’s College alumnae in furthering their education in any field.

The $6,000 grant is intended to help with costs and enable you to further your education through postgraduate study. It can be used for general or specific costs such as paying for course fees, purchasing equipment and travel costs.

If you have any questions about the application process, please contact the President of the Old Girls Association via email: presidentoga@stcuthberts.school.nz

Applications have now closed for 2026. 

“I am really grateful for the financial support from this grant as within the health sector there is minimal funding for those who choose a management pathway. I would really encourage Old Girls who are contemplating or in the middle of post graduate study to apply as it has made a big difference to me.” Previous recipient, Paula Seymour
