John Young Memorial Scholarship

The John Young Memorial Scholarship invites applications from students who are immediate family members of Fonterra suppliers in the Taranaki region. Applicants must be New Zealand citizens or New Zealand permanent residents who intend to take up a career or be engaged in some occupation or profession relevant to the dairy industry, and will be attending a full-time course at a tertiary institution. The level of individual grants paid is dependent on the numbers of successful applicants and ranges from $2,000 to $5,000. The scholarship is to be used for tuition and books. Students need to be registered for a full-time course at either a university or Institute of Technology by 31 March in the year of the award and satisfactorily complete course work in each year preceding re-application. The scholarships are awarded based on evidence of and/or planned activity to support the New Zealand dairy industry, academic merit, evidence of potential leadership skills and/or service to the community or sporting activities, and academic performance in the previous year of the course for re-application by existing scholars.
