REGINA — Applications are now being accepted for the 2024 Agriculture Student Scholarship Program. The scholarship amounts have increased this year to $6,000 for the top recipient, as well as three runner-up scholarships of $3,000 each.
This year's theme is farming and environmental sustainability. Applicants of the scholarship are encouraged to explore the idea of environmental sustainability within farming and the importance of public perception of modern farming practices. The scholarship encourages conversations about where food comes from and how everyone along the value chain shares a role in communicating about food production.
"I am beyond grateful that this scholarship is allowing me to turn my passion into my career," 2023 Agriculture Student Scholarship grand prize winner Caitlyn Spratt said.
Students are invited to submit a creative three-minute video or 1,000-word essay discussing farming and the environment. Scholarships will be awarded to Saskatchewan students in Grade 12 and/or recent high school/GED graduates entering agriculture-related post-secondary studies in fall 2024.
The deadline for applications is March 1, 2024. For more information on the Agriculture Student Scholarship Program, visit saskatchewan.ca/ag-scholarship.
This award is funded through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
