Supporting The Christopher Doig Foundation
The Christopher Doig Foundation
The events of the past year in Canterbury have shown us the importance of strong leadership. Leaders emerged from all walks of life in our region to inspire us, organise us, stand alongside us and give us hope. In particular we saw young people making exceptional leadership contributions to the Canterbury recovery effort. It is towards young people like this that we look to secure our future.
The Christopher Doig Foundation has been established to play its part in securing that future through recognising, nurturing and developing the leadership potential of our most outstanding young people.
The Christopher Doig Scholarship
The purpose of the Foundation is to set up and administer The Christopher Doig Scholarship. The Scholarship will provide financial assistance to young people, under the age of 30, who live principally in Canterbury and whom the Trustees believe display the potential to be future leaders in Canterbury or nationally in their chosen fields.
Scholarship contenders will excel in the one or more of these areas: academic, artistic, community or sporting.
Foundation Trustees: Hamish Doig, Lee Robinson, Bryan Pearson, Barry Maister and Suzanne Prain
