Do you know a Grade 12 student or recent high school
graduate pursuing agriculture-related post-secondary education in the fall of
2017?
The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture awards a
grand-prize scholarship of $4,000 and three runner-up scholarships of $2,000
for students who thinkAG. Applicants need to produce a three-minute creative
video or write a well-researched fact-based 1,000-word essay sharing their food
story; and provide proof of acceptance to a post-secondary institution and a
letter of recommendation from a teacher, agriculture industry or community
leader. Note that immediate family of the Government of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan
Crop Insurance Corporation employees are not eligible to apply.
The application deadline is March 1, 2017. Visit
