Nuffield scholarship applications sought
Applications for $15,000 2023 Nuffield Canada Agricultural Scholarships are now open and the deadline to apply is June 30.
The rural leadership program is 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 agriculturally relevant issue.
They then write a report on their research findings and make a presentation at Nuffield Canada’s annual general meeting.
