Agriculture Student Scholarship Opportunity
Do you know a student thinking about studying agriculture at a post-secondary institution in the fall of 2024?
For students passionate about telling the story of agriculture, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture is proudly offering the Agriculture Student Scholarship for the fourteenth consecutive year. This year, the scholarship amounts available have been increased.
Saskatchewan Grade 12 students and recent high school/GED graduates (within the last two years) have the chance to win a grand-prize scholarship of $6,000 or one of three runner-up scholarships of $3,000, when they submit a three-minute video or 1,000-word essay on farming and environmental sustainability. This year’s scholarship theme encourages young people to explore the idea of environmental sustainability within farming and the importance of public perception on modern farming practices. Submissions should focus on progressive environmental practices conducted by producers and the importance of relaying messages to the public to enhance trust in the industry.
To be eligible for this scholarship, applicants must be planning to take an agriculture-related post-secondary education program beginning in the fall of 2024. This program is designed to help us identify and develop young agricultural leaders in the industry.
