Ian Hatfull Memorial Scholorship (1995-1998)
The Anglian Water Award (1996)
The Steel & Tube Travelling Scholarship
These scholarships, formerly the IPENZ Postgraduate Research Scholarships, were renamed in 1988 to recognise the great part played by M A Craven in their founding. Mr Craven contributed funds for the first scholarship. These scholarships, each worth $2,000, are awarded annually by the Institution to encourage research in engineering, particularly that which may have application to the future development of New Zealand.
The scholarships were open to candidates who are taking the final examination for the Degree of Bachelor of Engineering in the University of Auckland or the University of Canterbury, or for the Bachelor of Technology Degrees at Massey University acceptable to the Institution as a qualification for graduate membership, and also to graduates in engineering of any university within the British Commonwealth.

Ian Hatfull Memorial Scholorship (1995-1998)
Ian Hatfull was a young manager at Royds Consulting Ltd in Nelson. He died in a plane crash in Laos while on an engineering project for his company. Ian was strongly committed to IPENZ and keenly sought to extend his management knowledge. He was part way through study towards an MBA at the time of his death.
In recognition of Ian's dedication, skill and contribution to IPENZ, a memorial scholarship was been established for financial members of IPENZ. It is intended to encourage engineers to commence postgraduate management study although consideration was also given to those already studying.
The Diploma or MBA course were be distance learning courses approved by IPENZ. The following courses have already received IPENZ approval. Other courses of distance learning were considered for eligibility provided full details were supplied with the application.
- APESMA MBA (Technology Management) Deakin University (12 units)
- APESMA Postgraduate Diploma in Management (6 units plus 6 units of MBA)
- EEA Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Professional Development) (8 units)
- Henley MBA through the Auckland Institute of Technology (3 stages)
Applicants for the Ian Hatfull IPENZ Memorial Scholarship were resident in New Zealand, financial members of any grade of IPENZ membership, and intended to complete the Diploma course, or the MBA course, within the course requirements.
Recipients of the Scholarship:
1995 K Morgan
1997 D Blackstock
1998 K Morgan and S Parbu
The award is open to all final year tertiary students studying towards an engineering, technology or science degree at any New Zealand university or polytechnic. The applicant must be a New Zealand citizen normally resident in New Zealand. The successful applicant must be prepared to spend three years with Anglian Water in Britain.
The purpose of the award is to increase the number of good calibre water managers in the New Zealand water industry.

The Steel & Tube Travelling Scholarship
This scholarship was established in 1982 by a grant from Steel & Tube Ltd. The rules for it are as follows.
Both graduate and corporate members of the Institution who have had at least two years postgraduate experience in the engineering or manufacturing industries in New Zealand, are eligible for the scholarship, though preference will be given to corporate members preparing for wider responsibilities.
A scholarship may be awarded to engineering graduates desiring to improve their skills in the areas of management, finance or administration. It is likely that these skills would be acquired by formal courses at an approved institution in New Zealand or overseas. The basic purpose of the scholarship is to assist the holders of the award to extend their personal experience and to complement their previous tertiary study in a way which would equip them to manage themselves and their future functional responsibility in a more appropriate manner. Applications for the scholarship will be called every two years. The number of scholarships awarded at any one time will vary, depending on the purposes and periods for which the awards are made, and the money available from the scholarship fund.
It must be the intention of the scholarship candidates at the time of the application to pursue a career in management.
