The late George Trachy Pirouet, who earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in English, Greek, and History at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington, in 1963, left a gift that founded this scholarship. The hotel Millbrook House, which had been in his family since 1848 and was located close to St. Helier in the Channel Islands, was taken over by Mr. Pirouet in 1975. His interest in the Victoria University of Wellington remained strong. This fellowship is intended to assist students enrolled at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington's Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, who wish to pursue postgraduate studies in Latin American studies.

Scholarship value is $10,000.
