Two $15,000 scholarship packages, which include international travel, are on offer to tertiary students interested in a career in the dairy and animal breeding sector.
CRV Ambreed offers scholarships each year, one to a Massey University undergraduate science student, and one to a Lincoln University undergraduate sciencestudent.
The scheme is in its seventh year and has contributed more than $200,000 toward the education and development of its recipients so far.
It includes a trip to one of CRV's international business units of the students' choice in Czech Republic, Brazil, the USA or Holland to observe dairy systems in other parts of the world, plus $3000 towards tertiary studies.
CRV Ambreed's Managing Director Angus Haslett said the candidates are high academic achievers, in their second to last year of undergraduate study and keen to develop a career in the dairy industry.
"To date, the successful scholarship winners have shown exceptional attitudes and a willingness to go on and make positive contributions to the dairy industry.
Our dairy products are well-regarded internationally, and we look to invest in young people who share in our long-term vision for the dairy industry," he says.
Students can apply for the scholarship through Lincoln University and Massey University's scholarship offices.
