Unlock your leadership potential in agriculture

Farmers are familiar with the saying, “You reap what you sow.” This applies to everything from crops to leadership. Grow your mind with a Nuffield Canada Scholarship. Applications close June 30.

The Nuffield Scholarship is a prestigious rural leadership program available to Canadian citizens who are involved in any aspect of agriculture. Its goal is to attract mid-career men and women who are ready to challenge themselves by doing 10 weeks of self-directed international travel study to examine and research an agricultural topic they are passionate about. Once travel is completed, scholars sum up their findings in a written report and presentation to the Nuffield Canada Board, alumni, industry guests and dignitaries at the annual general meeting.
