ANZCO Foods Scholarship

Posted on Thursday, 3 July 2025 under Culture and Belonging,

​​​​​​​Each year ANZCO Foods awards four scholarships of up to $5,000 each for up to three years’ tertiary study or an apprenticeship.

The four scholarships are available to immediate family of waged ANZCO employees, who work at our processing or manufacturing sites. This includes children, step-children, spouses/partners and direct whānau of employees, or other immediate family members that ANZCO accepts as eligible.

The recipients need to be studying at a New Zealand university or polytechnic, or completing an apprenticeship in New Zealand.

The scholarship will cover costs associated with the course/activity (living expenses, course fees, books, practicals, tools and equipment). The scholarships are for any tertiary study (university or polytechnic) or a trade and don’t need to be related to ANZCO Foods’ business.

At the end of each year, the scholarship recipients will need to provide a written update on their year’s study and results, or for apprenticeships what they’ve completed during the year.

Scholarship funding for the second and third years is contingent on the recipient passing the previous year or successfully completing their apprenticeship requirements.

Scholarship recipients may also be offered paid holiday work at ANZCO Foods. We will endeavour to make the holiday work relevant to the recipients’ area of study, but this may not always be possible.

Application forms will be available at sites and online.

The scholarship selection committee will comprise:

  • CEO
  • Group Manager Communications and Sustainability
  • GM People and Capability
