Established in 2025 by the University of Otago, this award is intended to provide a tuition subsidy of up to $3,000 for distance learning students undertaking the first year of a postgraduate programme in disciplines formerly part of Home Science and Consumer and Applied Sciences. The origins of this award date back to the 1930s, when the Carnegie Corporation, through Sir James Allen, donated funds to establish the Home Economics Extension Endowment, for the continuation of Home Science extension work at the University of Otago. After 1964 there was a long period of inactivity in relation to the Carnegie endowment, as it was believed its original purpose had been met. Eventually, in 1997-98, the residual funds were repurposed as the Carnegie Corporation Award for Adult Education. This was a departmental (unofficial) award, in the form of a travel grant, to enable postgraduate students specialising in either Clothing and Textile Sciences or Community and Family Studies to travel to Dunedin. The decision to make this an official University award, and to broaden its scope, is the result of a wider review of scholarships and prizes affected by the dissolution of the School of Home Science and Consumer and Applied Sciences. There is also a desire to ensure the award will, in future, be granted regularly, and to multiple students when funds allow, by widening the qualifying criteria and by changing its purpose from being a grant for travel to a general subsidy for tuition fees.
