UFA is looking for the next generation of agricultural professionals who want to work in their rural communities as we continue our scholarship program aimed at supporting post-secondary students interested in agriculture.
Not only will it help ease the financial burden of pursuing higher education for students who are passionate about agriculture and committed to making a positive impact in the sector, it also provides summer employment and mentorship opportunities, with access to industry experts to help students achieve their goals and develop the skills needed to succeed in agriculture.
If you are or know a student who is enrolled full-time in post-secondary study working towards a diploma or degree, they will be eligible to receive a $1,000 scholarship for accepting a summer position at UFA.
Students returning for an additional season of seasonal employment at UFA, will be eligible to receive a $1,500 scholarship.
Applications for the scholarship program will be accepted February 20 - April 15, 2024. Scholarships will be awarded upon application acceptance and completion of a summer employment term.
