Overview
Nuffield Australia awards Scholarships each year to farmers in Australia. The objective is to increase practical farming knowledge and management skills and techniques generally. These scholarships give Australian citizens the opportunity to study farming practices in New Zealand, Europe, Asia and the Americas and those countries best suited to the Scholar. They will also promote a closer understanding between farmers in the countries visited.
Upon returning to Australia it is expected that Scholars will be able to actively spread the knowledge and understanding they have gained among their fellow farmers and others.
Nuffield Farming Scholarships give a unique opportunity to stand back from your day-to-day occupation, and to study a subject of interest to you. You do not need academic qualifications, but you will need to persuade the Selectors that you have the qualities to make the best use of an opportunity that is only given to a few.
The Nuffield Farming Scholarship Program 2011:
Pre-tour briefing to meet other Scholars and be updated on domestic and international agricultural issues.
Global Focus Program – six weeks spent in various countries possibly including New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States of America, China, Canada, Brazil, Ireland and France, investigating agricultural marketing, trade and environmental issues, and experiencing the social and cultural aspects of each region.
