South-east Asia Scholarship
Welcome to our 2026 participants
Congratulations on being selected to join the Dairy Australia Scholarship Program for 2026! We are very excited to have you on this journey and look forward to sharing with you about our systems, products and people.
This year’s program will include two introductory online sessions which will equip you with strong background knowledge prior to the in-person visit. This will give you the confidence to ask questions and deepen your understanding of the industry.
The in-person visit program will start with iconic tourist destinations on the first day and then three farm visits, seven factory visits, a supermarket tour, dairy applications, and an industry dinner.
The team here at Dairy Australia looks forward to welcoming you here and sharing our knowledge about the industry
