About Lincoln University and Scholarship
When Lincoln College, Canterbury was granted independence from the University of Canterbury in 1990, Lincoln University (Mori: Te Whare Wnaka o Aoraki) was established as a New Zealand institution of higher learning. The oldest agricultural training facility in the Southern Hemisphere, it was established in 1878. It is still one of the eight public universities and the smallest (by enrollment) institution in New Zealand. In Lincoln, Canterbury, 15 km (9 km) outside of Christchurch, the campus is set on 50 hectares (120 acres) of land.
