Craig Norgate Scholarships

A Lasting Legacy

Craig Norgate was often described as a visionary, passionate and influential business leader. He led the 2014 merger between Chartered Accountants Australia and the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants organisation to become Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand. He played an important role in the formation of Fonterra and was the dairy co-operative's first chief executive. 

To honour and celebrate Craig Norgate’s contribution to the profession and community, Chartered Accountants ANZ is offering two annual memorial scholarships which will support the next generation of CA’s from New Zealand and Taranaki region. 

There are two annual scholarships available, each valued at NZ $5,000 each. The scholarships aim to financially support emerging leaders from New Zealand and Taranaki region who have chosen a career in accounting and commerce and have started their studies within the CA Program.
