NUFFIELD Australia is calling for applications for the 2023 scholarship program.
To be selected as a Nuffield Scholar with $30,000 in hand, opens up opportunities to discover new tools, practices and ideas, and forge connections that can improve long-term sustainability says Nuffield Australia CEO Jodie Redcliffe.
“Our program gives emerging leaders from agriculture and associated industries experiences to tackle challenges and embrace change. That’s why we see Nuffield alumni in positions of leadership across industry.
“The recent period has been extraordinary, so there has never been a better time to research how the world has changed, and how agriculture can adapt to complex food and fibre supply chains and changes to trade and consumer behaviour.”
Each scholarship is valued at $30,000 and Nuffield Australia will award up to 20 scholarships this year.
Nuffield Scholarships are open to farmers, fishers and those in associated industries aged between 28 and 45.
The bursary allows scholars to spend 14 weeks of travel over two years to study a topic important to the industry.
Nuffield Scholars also receive training in communication skills and personal and professional development.
Ms Redcliffe says this year’s program has been especially tailored for recipients to navigate the global uncertainty and make the most of being part of the world’s most influential agricultural network.
Applications close on Friday, June 17. Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed during July and August.
Successful recipients of the 2023 Nuffield Scholarships will be announced at the Nuffield Australia National Conference in Tamworth NSW in September.
