NZ$5000 Export Scholarship for small poppies with ambition.
Named after the School’s founder - the Dr Romuald Rudzki Export Scholarship is specifically for “short poppies with ambition”. Many relatively new and often smaller companies struggle to gain a foothold in the international marketplace because they don’t have the luxury of big budgets to train key staff to international levels; and they are ineligible for government funding because they have failed to reach the prescribed level of turnover.
Rom is fully aware of the implications of this “catch 22” situation, indeed, the School is ineligible for government funding because it is a distance learning provider, restricts entry to importers/exporters and it offers internationally accredited, rather than NZQA accredited qualifications.
The Scholarship will be awarded to the applicant who can prove they have a great business idea/product; is unable to gain the assistance required to cover tuition fees; and has the commitment to complete the Diploma of International Trade.
In addition to the Dr Romuald Rudzki Export Scholarship, the School is once again offering Scholarships, each valued at NZ$1200 in the following categories.

Congratulations to our very own Ariunaa Mendtsoo on completing her Migrant Internship with the New Zealand School of Export.
The internship is an initiative of the Manawatu Ethnic Council, aimed at placing qualified migrants with Manawatu businesses in order to give them experience of the kiwi workplace.
Ariunaa, who has a Degree in Construction Engineering and Public Management, worked in Mongolia for a Joint Venture - GTZ. 
She is fluent in Mongolian, English, Russian and German and has been working on a part-time basis with the School.
On completing the required number of hours, Ariunaa was presented with her Certificate by Employment Facilitator Axel de Maupeou d’Ableiges (pictured here with Rom).
We are also delighted to take this opportunity to confirm Ariunaa as the 2009 recipient of the Dr Robin W. N. Smith Memorial Scholarship.
The Scholarship will enable Ariunaa to study for the Diploma of International Trade at no cost to her.
