Nuffield Farming Scholarships are awarded to Canadians from any aspect of agriculture and agribusiness, with a desire to expand their knowledge, pursue new ideas and share their findings with others for the betterment of the industry. Applicants should be in mid-career, between the ages of 25 and 45 with a minimum of five years of agricultural business or farming experience.
The Grain Farmers of Ontario Nuffield scholarship will be given to an individual involved in the Ontario grain industry whose study shows direct benefit to the Ontario grain sector.
The scholarship provides innovative Canadians with the funding to travel internationally to explore agricultural issues and opportunities in a global context. The Nuffield scholarships have access to the best production, management and marketing systems around the world.
The 2018 Canadian Nuffield Farming Scholarships are due April 30, 2018. If you are interested in applying, forms can be downloaded from the Nuffield Canada website at www.nuffield.ca.
