NZIFST Scholarships & Prizes
TRAVEL / STUDY AWARDS
Biennial Study Tour Award
The NZIFST and DIANZ co-sponsor a biennial study tour of food industries in a selected overseas destination. These tours are intended to give participants the opportunity to see a range of food-oriented industries in an export market and to develop relationships with other food professionals. The experience widens the understanding that each participant has of their own industry and of related industries.
The value of these awards is currently up to $2000 per participant for travel and accommodation with the travellers expected to fund the balance of the cost themselves.
The Earle Travel Fellowship in Technology
A travel Fellowship worth up to $10,000, awarded by the Richard and Mary Earle Technology Trust to a Professional Member of either IPENZ or NZIFST, to study or gain practical experience overseas in either product development and innovation management, or process development in bioprocessing or food processing.
Applications for this year close 4 May 2012

NZIFST Study/Travel Award
This Award is designed to help a member, who would not normally be given the opportunity, to travel, to further their knowledge in their chosen field, or to pursue a course of study. The award consists of a monetary grant of up to $15,000 to assist with travel and/or study for the recipient.
The Award may be given to a person or persons who have outlined a course of study, or attendance at an international conference, which, in the opinion of the Awards Selection Committee, is an appropriate food industry related topic. Preference will be given to technological studies, but need not be confined to this area.
The recipients may use the Award to complete a course of study within New Zealand over a number of years. In this case the award would be paid as an annual grant determined by the Awards Selection Committee. The continuance of the grant in any year will depend on the production of evidence of successful completion of the preceding year’s work and other requirements of this Award.
At the completion of the award, the recipient may be requested to undertake speaking engagements to NZIFST branches, Conferences or other such occasions as determined by the Awards Committee.

After the conference, the recipient(s) are expected to either give a presentation to the NZIFST, or report for the NZIFST journal.
