Saskatchewan youth, pursuing a career in an agriculture-related field, have a great opportunity to cut some of their post-secondary costs.
Applications are being accepted for the 2019 Saskatchewan Agriculture Scholarship program. The scholarship is funded through the Canadian Agriculture Partnership, a five-year, $388 million investment in strategic initiatives for Saskatchewan agriculture by the federal and provincial governments.
“Agriculture is a major employer and economic driver in our province and there are many exciting career opportunities to pursue,” Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit said in a statement. “The scholarship program is all about encouraging youth interested in agriculture to take an active role in shaping the industry.”
Students interested in applying for the scholarship must submit a creative three-minute video or a 1,000-word essay based on topics surrounding their personal food story. The theme for this year’s program is ‘Our Food Has a Story’ which emphasizes the connection between modern agriculture practices and trust in the agriculture industry.
