The deadline for applications for the Saskatchewan Agriculture Student Scholarship is Feb. 15, 2012.
Ten scholarships worth $1,000 each will be awarded to Grade 12 students and recent graduates (the past two years) in Saskatchewan planning to take agriculture-related post-secondary education beginning in the fall of 2012.
Applicants are required to write a 750-word essay or produce a three-minute video essay; and provide a letter of recommendation from a teacher, agricultural industry or community leader.
The essay must address one of two topics: "the future information and technological needs of agricultural producers" or "one or more common myths about agriculture." Essays must dispel the myth(s) through research, facts and statistics
