Passion for agriculture? Check out this scholarship

Applications for 2024 Nuffield Canada Agricultural Scholarships are now open and the deadline to apply is June 30, 2023.

The Nuffield Scholarship is a rural leadership program available to Canadian citizens who are involved in any aspect of agriculture. Its goal is to attract mid-career applicants with a passion for agriculture who are ready to challenge themselves in a program of self-directed international travel and study. The experience results in personal and professional benefits while adding value to Canadian agriculture as scholars assume positions of greater influence in their field.

This $20,000 scholarship provides individuals with the opportunity to: access the world’s most extensive networks in food and farming; achieve personal development through travel and study; and deliver long-term benefits to Canadian farmers and growers, and to the industry as a whole.
“Nuffield Canada is part of a global network of Nuffield alumni who support each other in their travel studies to learn more about various aspects of agriculture,“ explains Blake Vince, Nuffield Canada Chair and 2013 scholar.
