PSC has supported the University of Canterbury for more than 14 years. The PSC Scholarship was established in 2004 as a co-operation between PSC and the Electric Power Engineering Centre (EPECentre) to promote and support the education of power engineers and the study of power engineering as a field of excellence in New Zealand. The scholarship is open to students in their 3rd professional year, who are focusing on power engineering subjects and have demonstrated excellence in their studies.
