REGINA — Applications are now being accepted for the 2025 Agriculture Student Scholarship. There are four awards available: a grand prize scholarship valued at $6,000 and three runner up scholarships at $3,000 each.
This year's theme is solutions to challenges in agriculture. Scholarship applicants are encouraged to explore innovative farming practices, new technologies and creative ways industry can communicate with the public. The scholarship encourages applicants to share their personal perspectives on the future of agriculture in Saskatchewan.
"Agriculture is a great industry to want to become involved in," 2024 Agriculture Student Scholarship grand prize winner Marleigh Mann said. "It's a pretty cool scholarship to apply for."
Students are invited to submit a creative three-minute video or 1,000-word essay discussing solutions to challenges in agriculture. Scholarships will be awarded to Saskatchewan students in Grade 12 and/or recent high school/GED graduates entering agriculture-related post-secondary studies in fall 2025.
The deadline for applications is March 1, 2025. For more information on the Agriculture Student Scholarship Program, visit: .
