The Earle Travel Fellowships in Technology

The Earle Travel Fellowships are for the support and encouragement of young food technologists and professional engineers so that their knowledge and skills can be increased by an overseas experience from which they will return with enhanced ability to improve technology in New Zealand. The development of creativity, and the generation of new product or process ideas for practical application, are important elements in the concept of the Fellowships.

The Fellow will study or gain practical experience overseas in either:

• Product development and innovation management, or
• Process development in bioprocessing or food processing

Award description:

One Fellowship of up to $10,000 will be awarded; (the amount may be increased to $15,000 under special circumstances). The Fellowship is tenable with other awards, but account will be taken of the aggregate circumstances of the individual and of the desirability of using available funds to best advantage. The Fellow will be overseas for a maximum of three months within twelve months of the Fellowship being awarded. They must agree to return to New Zealand and work for at least one year in New Zealand.

The applicants must be under 40 years of age, and employed in one of New Zealand's technological industries (products or services), or an associated research organisation, and New Zealand citizens or permanent residents with at least three years proven residence in New Zealand immediately preceding the year of selection. Applicants must be Professional members of either the New Zealand Institute of Food Science and Technology (NZIFST) or the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ).

In considering each Fellowship application, the Fellowship Committee shall take into account: practical relevance of the proposed trip to New Zealand technological industries (products or services); possible outcomes of the trip for innovative technologies and exports; company's/research organisation's support for the trip; ability and previous experience of the candidate; creativity and innovative ability shown by the candidate.

IPENZ Foundation Scholarships

As part of the IPENZ Foundation's objective "To encourage New Zealand school leavers into tertiary education and technology" , scholarships worth $5,000 are offered each year, for the specific purpose of covering tuition fees. Students from years 12 or 13 are eligible on the basis of interest in engineering as a career, and motivation to succeed and academic merit.

The Foundation has been able to raise the profile of engineering amongst secondary school students and will continue to offer this type of scholarship each year.
