Youth in Agriculture Bursaries

The Canadian International Farm Show ‘Youth in Agriculture’ bursaries, presented by Master Promotions Ltd. in partnership with the Junior Farmers ‘Association of Ontario, are designed to give back to the agricultural community by supporting the development of the next generation of agricultural leaders.

A $2,500.00 bursary will be awarded to a student currently in their first year of an agricultural related program at an accredited Canadian university or college.

If you are unsure or it is unclear if your program meets the requirement, your cover letter should include an explanation of how your program relates to pursuing an agricultural-related career.

Applicants must show both academic achievement and financial need, and must not have reached the age of 30 before January 1st, 2012.

Strong preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate rural leadership or strong community involvement in organizations like the Junior Farmers’ Association of Ontario.
