Jersey Educational Travel Awards (JETA) 2011

The WJCB Jersey Educational Travel Award is a scholarship award that is open to young Jersey cattle breeders who have:

• Demonstrated unique leadership qualities through their interest in the Jersey breed, or
• Achieved success in their efforts to breed and develop profitable dairy businesses, and
• Whose future endeavours will benefit from the knowledge and new ideas that can be gained by contact with other Jersey breeders from around the world.

The program provides financial awards to enable up to five individuals to attend and participate in the next International Conference of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau, held every three years in a major dairy producing country, which in February 2011 will be in New Zealand. Awards will cover the cost of travel documents, return air fares and ground transportation, registration and all other conference fees for the week of the conference. The recipients will also be awarded lifetime membership of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau.
