Stan Florence Agricultural Industry Scholarship

The Stan Florence Agricultural Industry Scholarship was created to recognise the outstanding contribution Mr Stan Florence has made to the New Zealand Agricultural Industry in management, and to recognise his long association with Mr and Mrs L.A. Alexander as a friend and consultant and as an Estate Trustee from 1965-1987. This scholarship supports personnel already serving in a management position in agricultural, horticultural or pastoral industries to attend nominated courses for professional development. The Trustees may invite applications from specific groups or the public in general at their discretion, and may either nominate a specific course or allow applicants to propose their own course of study. Successful applicants must obtain employer permission for absence and demonstrate suitable financial arrangements to sustain themselves and their families during the course. Recipients are required to give a written undertaking to remain with the agricultural industry, or a related industry acceptable to the Trust Board, for a period of two years after completion of the nominated course. Should the recipient wish to leave their industry within two years of course completion, they may be required to refund a proportion of the scholarship on a pro rata basis.
