The Grainews scholarship list

Monsanto will again offer 60 to 70 scholarships to Canadian grade 12 students who plan to pursue post-secondary education in agriculture or forestry in the fall of 2009. I've including details and a link below.

The Monsanto announcement has me inspired. I will start collecting a list of scholarships available to students going into agriculture courses. If you know of any scholarships, please pass along the details to me. I'll post regular updates to the list on my blog.

Monsanto's scholarship

Students must be from a farm and must be entering their first year at a recognized Canadian educational institution. Each scholarship is valued at $1,500. Winners will also demonstrate academic excellence, leadership capabilities, and a keen interest and involvement in their rural community.

 To apply, students submit a completed application form and an essay that outlines what area of agriculture or forestry they would like to work in and why. All completed application forms must be post-marked no later than May 15, 2009. Application forms are available at Monsanto's website. All applications will be reviewed by an independent panel of judges and winning entries will be announced in September 2009.
