NZIM Foundation

Established to promote and support education relating to management and leadership.

2010 Management Study Scholarships

The Trustees have decided not to offer Scholarships in 2010 because there is not a suitable Conference in 2010, which would also allow time to arrange a series of visits to add to the learning experience of the Scholarship winners.  The decision was not taken lightly as the Foundation was planning to make the Scholarships an annual event. It is most important, however, the whole package provides maximum value for the attendees hence the decision to postpone the offer for one year. The Scholarships will be offered later this year for 2011.

Application Form

An application for a NZIM Foundation Scholarship can be made online or it may be posted to the Secretary, NZIM Foundation, P O Box 67, Wellington 6142. For full information please download the single page PDF.
