Fruitfed Supplies has made an academic scholarship available to one third year Massey University student studying horticulture. The Fruitfed Supplies Horticultural Scholarship, worth $5,000 to the selected applicant, is intended to help promote excellence in horticulture by supporting future leaders in the industry and will be awarded to one student each year.

“We are always looking for ways to help grow the talent pool in New Zealand’s thriving and exciting horticultural industry,” says Duncan Fletcher, Fruitfed Supplies National Manager. “The scholarship is one way we can offer tangible support to a student who genuinely seeks to create a career in horticulture.”

Applicants are asked to provide a statement supporting their application which demonstrates how they have shown a passion for the horticultural industry to date, and outlines where they would like to focus their career in the future and their professional aspirations. The applications will be reviewed by Fruitfed Supplies staff in consultation with the Massey University’s Applied Academic Programmes Scholarships Committee, with the scholarship awarded in May this year.

Applications are now open via the Massey University website, under the scholarships and award section, and close 3 March 2020.
