Applications for the 2023 agriculture student scholarship program are now being accepted.

Agriculture minister David Marit says the theme this year is farming and the environment.

Applicants of the scholarship are encouraged to explore the idea of environmental sustainability within farming and the importance of public perception on modern farming.

Applicants should focus on progressive environmental farm practices and the importance of relaying the message to enhance public trust in the industry.

Students are invited to submit a creative three minute video or one thousand word essay on farming and the environment.

Scholarships will be awarded to students in grade 12 or recent graduates entering agriculture-related post-secondary studies in 2023.

One winning scholarship of 4 thousand dollars and three runner-up scholarships of two thousand dollars will be awarded.

The deadline to apply is March 1st of next year.
