Established in 2020 in memory of Sophia Michelle McMillan Crestani, a 2nd year Bachelor of Science student studying mathematics and statistics. Sophia passed away in tragic circumstances at a student party in North Dunedin on 6 October 2019. Sophia was a caring and enthusiastic spirit with a creative flair, having her Year 13 wearable art work displayed at the National War Memorial. She was also a sporty young woman, competing in various sports and giving back to the community as a gymnastics coach. This scholarship aims to provide educational and career opportunities for young women.
