SASKATOON — Saskatchewan students pursuing a post-secondary education in agriculture have been awarded scholarships from the federal and provincial governments.

Marleigh Mann from Lloydminster was awarded $6,000 toward her post-secondary studies as the grand prize recipient. Mann's essay highlighted the future of sustainable agriculture, promoting innovation, adaptability and the overall vitality of the industry. Furthermore, it advocated for building public trust and transparency through educational opportunities such as farm tours and social media campaigns surrounding sustainable agricultural practices.   

Mann sees the agriculture industry heading in a positive direction. 

"I really believe agriculture is going to continue to thrive and I've already seen that in my own community," Mann said. "We have a big world to feed and sustainable agriculture practices will keep getting better. The future certainly is bright."   

Clare Wever from Lloydminster, Katie Moyle from Hanley and Madalynn Anderson from Rosetown were all awarded $3,000 as the runners-up. The recipients will be attending post-secondary at the University of Saskatchewan in the fall at the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. Their fields of study will range from animal health and welfare to agribusiness and agricultural sciences.  

The Agriculture Student Scholarship is funded through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year, $3.5 billion investment by Canada's federal, provincial and territorial governments that supports Canada's agri-food and agri-products sectors.
