Funding Opportunities
University Undergraduate Scholarship
The University Undergraduate Scholarship is offered by the NZIF Foundation to students enrolled in forestry or forestry-related degree programs at New Zealand universities. The scholarship was established when the NZIF Foundation was created by the New Zealand Institute of Forestry in December 2011, taking over administration of this existing scholarship program. The scholarship recognizes excellence at the student level and forestry aspirations. It provides financial support to undergraduate students pursuing careers in forestry and related fields. The scholarship aims to encourage and support the next generation of forestry professionals in New Zealand. In assessing applications, the judges consider three main criteria: academic record, student background and forestry aspirations, and presentation of application and communication of ideas. The scholarship is funded from the Foundation's general funding and has been awarded annually since 2012. The program has a strong track record of supporting students at various stages of their undergraduate studies, primarily at the University of Canterbury, with recipients studying Bachelor of Forestry Science, Bachelor of Engineering (Forest Engineering), and related degrees.
Frank Hutchinson Postgraduate Scholarship
The Frank Hutchinson Postgraduate Scholarship is open to students enrolled for a forestry or forestry related postgraduate degree at a New Zealand University. It recognises excellence at the student level and rewards innovation and entrepreneurial potential. The scholarship was established to honor Frank Hutchinson, who was appointed as a lecturer in forest utilisation at the first forestry school at Canterbury University College in 1924. When the NZIF Foundation was established by the New Zealand Institute of Forestry in December 2011, the Trustees agreed to take over the Frank Hutchinson Postgraduate Scholarship. In assessing applications, the judges will have regard to academic record, student background and forestry aspirations, research project being undertaken, and presentation of application and communication of ideas. The scholarship is funded from the Foundation's general funding and provides support to students pursuing research in forestry and forestry-related fields.
Chavasse Travel Award
The NZIF Foundation Chavasse Travel Award is a mid-career travel grant that supports forestry professionals in New Zealand. The award is open to any person employed or interested in some aspect of forestry in New Zealand to enable them to travel overseas to increase their experience and knowledge for the benefit of the forestry sector. Alternatively, the award can assist an overseas person to travel to and within New Zealand to make presentations on forestry topics to New Zealand audiences, with the application being made by a New Zealand forestry professional. The award recognizes forestry excellence and personal integrity, and aims to reward the clear dissemination and presentation of results. Named after Geoff Chavasse, who came to New Zealand from England in 1950 and made significant contributions to the forestry profession, serving as NZIF President from 1978-1980 and receiving the Kirk Horn Flask award in 1994.
