MIA 2025 Scholarships open until 27 November

Applications are open for the Meat Industry Association’s 2025 Scholarship programme.

Geared towards tertiary students choosing a career in the red meat sector, this programme offers up to four new scholarships for undergraduates and postgraduates.

For undergraduates, the scholarship offers a generous annual award of $5,000 for each of the three years of study. Postgraduate positions come with an annual $10,000 stipend for up to two years.

As well as financial support, MIA scholars also benefit from mentorship, networking opportunities across the sector, and assistance in securing study-related projects or vacation work within the industry.

Encouraging applications from a broad spectrum of fields, the MIA is accepting various disciplines to meat processing, marketing, or exporting and welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and aims to support those facing barriers to further education.

The scholarship programme is open to New Zealand citizens or permanent residents enrolled in tertiary institutions.

The application deadline for these scholarships is Wednesday 27 November. To find out more, visit the MIA website.
