Apr 22, 2019 | 2:36 PM

The Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission (Sask Barley) is taking applications for two scholarships this year.

Board chair Jason Skotheim said the new program is an opportunity to support promising university students who are carrying out post secondary research.

“We are very excited to announce this new program, which aims to help us encourage and support new research that will benefit Saskatchewan’s barley sector while also investing in our greatest source of homegrown innovation, our people,” Skotheim said in a news release. “The investment into the next generation of scientists to lead the work in barley research is critical to the long term success of the crop for Saskatchewan producers. “

The program will include two scholarships, one at a post doctoral degree level for $5,000 and one at an undergraduate level for $2,000.
