O'Sullivan Family Scholarship

The O’Sullivan Family from South Canterbury have a loyal and familial affiliation with Lincoln University, beginning with William (Dermott) O’Sullivan gaining a DipAg (1972) and DipVFM (1973).  All four of Dermott’s sons followed in their father’s footsteps and went on to study at Lincoln University. Ryan completed a BAgCom, and married Tina who holds a BAgSc, also from Lincoln. Brett completed a DipFM, Tim completed a BAg and Chris studied towards a DipFM.

Dermott and his family fully believe that Lincoln University has played a big part in their family success. They want to give something back by supporting a student, with a connection to South Canterbury, who is enrolled in an agricultural degree at Lincoln, preferably a Bachelor of Land and Property Management degree (BLPM). The BLPM not only addresses the shortage of rural valuers in New Zealand but is also a good all-round qualification that would open many doors in the agricultural industry for a graduate of this degree. If this sounds like you, Dermott and his family welcome your application for their scholarship.
