Applications Now Open: The Global Footprints Scholarship
Calling all innovators, growers, and industry changemakers!
Are you ready to take your career to the international stage? We are thrilled to announce that applications for the Global Footprints Scholarship are officially OPEN.
This is your chance to turn your passion into a global mission—just like the 2025 winners, Hannah Schutz and Amelia Burdon.
From the Field to the World
Both Hannah and Amelia are transforming the viticulture industry by bridging the gap between local Australian expertise and global sustainable practices. Here is what they are achieving:
"It is so important to me to have sustainability at the forefront of my career going forward as it’s truly the one way to help and assist the future of our planet." — Hannah Schutz (2025 Scholar)
Hannah is using her scholarship to head to Bordeaux, France, to immerse herself in old-world winemaking, sustainable viticulture, and French culture, deepening her expertise in the land-first approach that defines her career.
"This scholarship is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn and to experience viticulture practices used in other countries and to see how they could benefit our own country and improve our own practices." — Amelia Burdon (2025 Scholar)
Amelia, driven by her background in soil, plant biology, and beneficial insects, is researching international solutions—from irrigation conservation to biodiversity preservation—to bring back home and revolutionise local Australian viticulture practices.
