Established in 2001, each year bright young Kiwis have the opportunity to apply for scholarships on offer from the dairy industry. From 2021, the value of new scholarships will be $3000 towards fees per year (years two and three). Applications are open to school leavers.
Recipients are supported and mentored throughout their time at either Lincoln or Massey universities as well as being given opportunities to network with industry leaders.

"The DairyNZ scholarship will continue to be a huge help to me. I recommend it to anyone with a passion for the dairy industry, whether you come from a farming background or not."


Massey University student, Michelle Crawford
"Being away from home for the first time it's really important to have the support and guidance of the scholarship programme."
