LDC Fellowship applications are open
LDC Fellowships support high potential mid to senior leaders across the Public Service to identify system leadership challenges and opportunities, and undertake research and study to address these. Each LDC Fellowship provides up to NZ$50,000 for travel, accommodation and/or development activities.
Applications open 1 May and close 30 June 2025.
Fellowships are sponsored by contributing public sector agencies. Individual mid to senior leaders from sponsoring agencies are eligible to apply.
We also strongly encourage joint applications from multiple agencies to demonstrate the cross-system collaborative approach to public sector leadership.
All applications require chief executive approval and supporting reports from two referees
We encourage you to email LDCprogrammes@ldc.govt.nz to discuss your application with us prior to completing the application form.
