Saskatchewan Agriculture Scholarship Deadline March 1st

Saskatchewan Agriculture is now taking applications for its Annual Agriculture Scholarship program.
 
The Ministry is offering one $4000 scholarship and three runner-up scholarships of $2,000
 
Nicole Lamers, the Ministry’s Public Trust Specialist, says students are invited to submit a creative three-minute video or a 1,000-word essay sharing their food story.
 
“We are looking for young people who plan to pursue an exciting career in the industry. What they'll need to do is submit their entry and provide a conditional acceptance letter to a post-secondary institution. If they don't have that quite yet that's alright because we can still accept the letters as late as April 1st.  They'll also need to provide a letter of recommendation from either a teacher or an industry leader in agriculture, or a community leader, talking about their history working in agriculture and being a leader and advocate in their studies."

OFA and Farmers' Markets Ontario have long shared similar goals and this year have partnered on a project to support local food producers. With $50,000 in cost-share funding from OFA, the two organizations supported marketing that promotes local Ontario farmers like Alex from Thames River Melons at farmers’ markets across the province. These initiatives help to promote local food, enhance consumer access, and build direct connections with farmers.
