The NSW Farmers Association firmly believes that attracting and retaining the best and brightest is the key to maintaining that vibrant, global, and highly competitive industry.
It aims for excellence in the future workforce by awarding annual scholarships.
The Tertiary Scholarships were first awarded in 1993 to reward, promote and encourage excellence in tertiary studies from members’ families.
Each year the Association awards five scholarships of $4,000 each.
Applications are open now, and close Sunday, May 5.
Only members can apply for the scholarships:
• as a student you may apply having held a membership of any category for a period of two consecutive years at the time of application, or
• your partner or your parents/legal guardians must have been full members of the Association for at least the two consecutive years before the date on which you apply.
If you are at university, you must be a full time student enrolled in the second or subsequent year of the course.
If you are studying at TAFE, or at a private Vocational Education College, you can apply if you are enrolled in the first year of your course.
If you are undertaking a post-graduate course you can apply if you are enrolled in the first year of the course.
