The Patterson Scholarship may be offered annually, at the discretion of the Trustees, with a value of up to $4000.

The Patterson Trust is a registered NZ charity established in 1978 to foster study of Aviation Medicine in New Zealand. It is administered by a board of independent Trustees including one from the Aviation Medical Society of New Zealand.

Applicants should send comprehensive curriculum vitae including supporting references, details of planned course(s) and reasons for wishing to pursue the course of study.

Decisions on applicants will be influenced by a range of considerations including aptitude, academic record and potential, commitment to aviation and aviation medicine, & intended location and scope of practice.  An interview is also normally held with prospective applicants.

Applicants should initially send their CV to Chair of the Trust Dr David Powell by 31 October 2011.
