Need help celebrating graduation?

Every year we award $300 to one student each from Lincoln University and EIT to help celebrate graduation.

How do we choose? Eligible students who have met the requirements to graduate with a wine/viticulture degree in the year (or 2 - depending on practical work requirements) immediately preceding the Graduation ceremony.

To be considered for a Graduation Grant, you need to complete some basic information for the sponsors, winejobsonline.com. You also need to read the "conditions" carefully so that you understand the application criteria.

The winejobsonline.com Graduation Grant is non-academic. All students may apply and have an equal chance. No skill required; Sadly, we cannot be bribed)

This grant helps out with the cost of attending your graduation ceremony. Maybe it's the help you need to make sure you're there on graduation day to celebrate your accomplishment.

It may be used for such things as:

Regalia hire
Travel expenses for self or family member
Framing of degree certificate
Family lunch or dinner
Celebratory bottle of champagne
Photographer - official portrait for the mantelpiece or the family album (Mum and Nana will be so proud!)
Piece of jewellery/keepsake (it's a girl thing, ok?)

This Grant is awarded at the discretion of Paddy and Heather Battersby, (winejobsonline.com) and a representative of your tertiary institution.

Success Stories

"The ad with your site has worked a treat thanks! Excellent response."
Marlborough Vintners

"I just received news of acceptance last night for a harvest position in Marlborough, and a facility in Gisborne also contacted me for a job before that. So, in essence I should be thanking you for two jobs as it looks like I will be able to work both jobs. Both jobs came from winejobsonline.com- one replied to my jobseeker advertisement and one I applied for a vacancy you had listed. I have found out that essentially, it is understood that you are the source to go to for wine jobs in NZ...that is at least what I have been told by those in the industry- not a bad reputation to have!"
Evan de la Torre, United States

"Your job web site is very good - I've referred a lot of vintage winemakers to it and they find it really useful. Very unique for NZ and very useful - good work! Thanks."
