Bursary History
In 1977 the citrus and exotics fruit growing industry lost two forward-thinking men: Bruce Clark, General Manager of the Citrus Marketing Authority, and Bill Fletcher, a leading authority on citrus culture with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. Both died while driving to the 1977 NZ Citrus and Subtropical Council Annual Conference.
Bruce and Bill were deeply involved in developing New Zealand’s fruit sector and in nurturing and guiding the industry through its formative years. Today the memory of these pioneers lives on in the Clark Fletcher Memorial Citrus Bursary, an award that promotes the industry that they devoted so much time and effort to.
Conditions
The Bursary may be withheld if the Board considers there is no suitable applicant. The decision of the Board is final.
