POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP

The Trustees may grant financial assistance to enable students to undergo education or research in any of the fields of primary industries either at or through any educational facilities provided by the Trustees, or, where any particular form of education is not so provided, then at such other educational institution or facility as the Trustees may deem fit. Research topics related to the broader Taranaki’s agricultural environment will be given priority.

Please note that preference will be given to students born, educated or working in the Taranaki area who already hold a degree in agriculture or horticulture or a related topic.

Please ensure you have prepared the following certified supporting documentation to submit your online application:

• Letter of intent: Include details of your course of study, why you have chosen this, and any other relevant information (i.e. work history) in support of your application.
  
  
• Certified copies of:
  • your previous year’s courses/subjects showing results achieved.
  • documentation to support your eligibility for this scholarship: Either a birth certificate or proof that you were either born, educated or work in the Taranaki region. This is not required if you have received a previous scholarship from the Trust.
    
    
• Letter of commendation from your supervisor with details of the proposed course and funding sources.

A supporting document must be certified as a true copy by a Justice of the Peace or a School Principal.

Closing date for applications is 28th February each year. The Trustees’ decision on the granting scholarships is final.
