The Earle Travel Fellowships in Technology 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:
Award description: One Fellowship of up to $10,000 will be awarded; (the amount may be increased to $15,000 under special circumstances).
