Diamond Jubilee Agricultural Tertiary Bursary

The Diamond Jubilee Agricultural Tertiary Bursary provides financial assistance to students undertaking full-time courses of at least one year in agricultural subjects and related studies. This bursary is offered by Rural Women New Zealand to support New Zealand citizens pursuing education in agriculture-related fields including horticulture, veterinary science, beekeeping, aqua farming, and viticulture. The bursary provides a single payment of $1,000 NZD per year and can be applied for up to two times per applicant (once per year). Applicants must be enrolled in a full-year course, degree, or diploma in an agriculture-related area of study and provide proof of New Zealand citizenship. Factors such as financial need, reasons for the course of study, and the intended use of the qualification are taken into consideration when awarding this bursary. Applications require a character reference from a non-family member, proof of enrollment acceptance, and either previous year's study results, last school report (if within three years), or an academic reference. The bursary supports students who are pursuing careers in agricultural and related sectors, helping to develop the next generation of professionals in New Zealand's vital primary industries.
