Description
These bursaries are funded by a foundation fund established by the David Levene Foundation. Business leader, Sir David Levene, started work in his father’s paint and wallpaper business in 1947. He was just 23 when he took over the management of the business in 1952. By the time the company was sold in 1994 it had 52 retail stores along with large print and wallpaper manufacturing factories. An open fund has been created to allow other benefactors to contribute to the David Levene Foundation, enabling it to help additional students.

Application
Application deadline

Include the following with your application:
a personal statement that identifies your financial circumstances and clearly demonstrates need. Please provide an overview of your financial circumstances (a clear picture, but not necessarily fine detail) which shows that you have a greater need than your peers. Applications that are based on a personal desire to avoid typical levels of financial constraint or use of student loan debt while studying will not usually be considered as demonstrations of hardship.
a financial statement giving an estimate of your total income from all sources for the following year and an estimate of your likely outgoings. This should include a table highlighting all expected income and expected expenses.
the names and contact details of two people, preferably members of the Massey University academic staff, who have agreed to act as referees.
Applications open 1 April 2026 and close 1 June 2026.
