Primary Industries Education for Women

Written By Mia Cohen

This fund is to encourage residents of the Wairarapa to undertake further education or training in land based courses either through University, polytechnics or other NZQA recognised Training organisations. It is expected that bursary recipients will ultimately seek employment in Wairarapa so the benefits of their learning can be passed on to the Wairarapa community and its industries.

Applicants must:

  • be an NZ citizen

  • a tertiary student enrolled in a full-year course

  • short- or long-term courses undertaken with a recognised education provider will be considered.

  • be a resident in the Wairarapa District. The Wairarapa District encompasses those who live within the boundaries of Masterton District, Carterton District, and South Wairarapa District.

  • Enrolled in a Primary Production Course (e.g. Horticulture, Agri Farming systems, dairy, sheep, beef, Deer, aqua-farming, bee keeping, silviculture, veterinary and viticulture, and agri tourism).

Grants value is $1,000 per person, one year duration.
