Promotion of educational exchange between the United States and New Zealand
to strengthen science, technology, and business relationships. The United
States New Zealand Educational Exchange program has been established to
enable corporate and individual supporters of both countries to contribute
to annual fellowships for advanced research, study and work training as
part of an overall bilateral education program.
Corporate sponsorship for branded awards are welcome. The Craggy Range winery
in New Zealand together with Kobrand Corporation and Air New Zealand are
multiyear supporters of the first United States and New Zealand educational
exchange internship.
We invite inquiries from those corporations, foundations and individuals
who would like to support the Education Exchange program to promote
educational relations between America and New Zealand through a fully
tax deductible contribution. For further information please contact

or telephone her on (212) 338 6860.
This scholarship is created in memory of Doug Wisor, a young American winemaker
who died tragically in New Zealand. Doug was a winemaker in a prestigious
vineyard - Craggy Range - now a major sponsor of the scholarship. The scholarship
will enable young American winemakers to intern in New Zealand to experience
a local vintage. Funds are now being raised for these scholarships.
Ming-Jen J. Tsay was awarded the Doug Wisor award for 2006 and is venturing to
New Zealand to do a harvest internship.
Ming-Jen J. Tsay has a Bachelor of Arts from Northwestern University in Illinois
and a Master of Science from the University of California. Ming-Jen J. Tsay
has also worked as a Graduate Student Researcher at the University of California,
and previously completed a Burgundy internship.
Ming-Jen J. Tsay is interested in gaining experience at Craggy Range as they produce
high quality wines, while focusing on sustainable agriculture and conservation.
At Craggy Range, Ming-Jen J. Tsay will concentrate on all aspects of the
viticultural and enological processes, from leaf-pulling to harvest, from
punch-downs/pump-overs to racking, bottling and cleaning.
