Graduating from high school? Apply for the Manitoba Canola Growers scholarship

The Manitoba Canola Growers Scholarship Program is available to Manitoba high school students who are enrolled in their final year of high school and eligible to graduate in 2025.

Those eligible for a scholarship must live on, work for or have guardians that work for a farm that is a member of Manitoba Canola Growers Association. The scholarship must be used in the two years following high school graduation. Manitoba Canola Growers recognizes that people from a variety of educational faculties contribute to the success of the agriculture industry. For that reason we are keeping the eligibility open to all post secondary programs.

Students submit their applications, which are judged by an independent panel, based on academics, canola connection, school and community involvement, and essay submission. The top five applicants are selected and each winner will be presented with a $1000 scholarship.

How much skin do independent seed companies have in the game? About $1.7 billion in infrastructure across SeCan’s membership, says General Manager Jeff Reid.

That investment helps get improved varieties into Canadian farmers’ hands. But how can smaller businesses invest more in the breeding behind those varieties without the individual financial resources of the big multinational players?

Jeff’s answer is to invest smarter, together. He joins On The Brink to explain how farmers and independent seed companies can combine resources, build on Canada’s existing breeding programs and support a trusted system for testing and registering new varieties. The goal is better choices for farmers, backed by data they can trust.
