Loxley Award
The Loxley Award has been established to assist New Zealanders, Quakers or non-Quakers, to undertake a study programme or project of their choosing, in New Zealand or abroad, which promotes understanding of peace, justice and environmental issues.
The Loxley award was a result of a generous bequest from Ken Loxley of Nelson Monthly meeting. It was first proposed in May 2007. Applications for the first award began in October of the same year and it was first granted to Kate Greenaway in December 2007.
Applications
The application, instruction and referee form for the Loxley Award may be downloaded here. Applications may be for up to $25,000, and close on 15 November each year.
