Punchbowl Undergraduate Scholarship

Punchbowl has established this scholarship in 2025 to support an outstanding second year horticulture or agricultural student, who has a particular interest in the Kiwifruit Industry.

One of Punchbowl’s core pillars, “Enriching our Community,” inspired the 2022 launch of the Punchbowl & Growers Community Fund. In collaboration with Growers from Waikato, Kerikeri, South Auckland, North-West Auckland, and Whangarei, this fund strengthens community ties and supports a new Scholarship Fund. Through this initiative, the fund aims to provide educational opportunities for deserving students, helping them achieve their academic and career aspirations and nurturing future community leaders.

Value

One scholarship will be offered annually to a full-time student in their second year of study at Lincoln University with a value of $5,000 towards tuition fees.
