Details are now available for the 2017 Saskatchewan Agriculture Student Scholarship.

This year’s theme is ‘Our Food has a Story,’  and is designed to get young people thinking about the relationship between agriculture and the food they eat.

Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart says the scholarship program is an opportunity for us to identify young agricultural leaders to help build public trust in our industry.

Interested students can apply for the scholarship by submitting a creative three-minute video or a well-researched 1,000-word essay based on topics surrounding their food story.

One winning scholarship of $4,000 will be awarded, as well as three runner-up scholarships of $2,000 each.

The application deadline is March 1, 2017.For more information on the Saskatchewan Agriculture Student Scholarship and to view last year’s winners, visit the scholarship page at www.saskatchewan.ca/business/agriculture-natural-resources-and-industry/agribusiness-farmers-and-ranchers/
