Each scholarship is valued at $10,000 per annum for up to three years.
In 2019, Gardiner Foundation increased the number of scholarships awarded from four to seven thanks to a generous bequest from the late Niel Black.
“This has meant we are able to provide more opportunities to students from rural communities,” GF chief executive officer Clive Noble said.
“Young people in regional areas often have to move away from home to complete their tertiary education. This puts them at a significant financial disadvantage and can impact on their ability to take up these opportunities.”
The tertiary scholarship program not only encourages students to return to dairy regions on graduation to contribute their new skills, but also places value on community contribution and personal development.
Students who have received Gardiner Dairy Foundation tertiary scholarships in the past have used the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities while studying, which expands their knowledge and skills.
The scholarship funding has given students the freedom to explore career pathways and gain extra experience that may not have been possible had a Gardiner Tertiary Scholarship not been available.
To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must meet the following requirements:
Pursuing a field of study that will directly benefit the dairy industry or dairy communities;
Commencing their first year of full-time tertiary study in 2020;
Required to live away from home in order to pursue their chosen course;
Applications must be submitted online by November 24.
