Four Saskatchewan students were given scholarships to pursue agriculture-related post-secondary education.

Caylee Dorval of Glaslyn received $4,000 toward her studies as the winner of the 2019 Agriculture Student Scholarship. Caylee’s winning video submission discussed her role in the family ranch and her pride in the beef they raise.

Dorval said the scholarship is an excellent opportunity for young people to voice their agricultural ideas.

“It was an interesting scholarship to apply for since you can be creative while showing your passion for agriculture,” Dorval said in a news release. “I am very thankful for this scholarship as it will help me to further my education in animal science.”

Madison McNeil of Alameda, Morgan Davey of Delisle and Kaitlyn Sauser of Churchbridge received runner-up scholarships valued at $2,000 each.

Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit said the recipients are tremendous advocates for the agriculture sector.

“It is encouraging to see how passionate our youth are about building a career in agriculture. They are a great voice for our industry,” Marit said.
