Applications are open for £1,000 Pembrokeshire Agricultural Student Bursary Award
Students who are currently studying, or have been accepted to start their studies, are invited to apply for £1,000 worth of financial support from the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society to assist with their chosen college or career path.
The Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society’s Student Bursary Award is now open for applications from students studying agriculture, veterinary science, agricultural engineering, food technology, forestry or other subjects allied to agriculture.
Last year’s winner of the award was Catrin Palferey from Llanfyrnach who began studying at Aberystwyth University last autumn.
Mansel Raymond, the new Chairman of the Society’s Bursary Committee said, “I would urge all Pembrokeshire students who study subjects that are clearly aligned to agriculture to apply for this bursary as it won't only assist with your studies but will also give you great experiences such as undertaking an interview which is a key employment skill. It will also assist in your future career within the agriculture industry.
“An independent judge will draw up a short list of candidates who will be interviewed and the winning candidate will be asked to give a short presentation at a future meeting of the society's show council.
“The standard of applications has always been exceptional which gives a lot of heart that there are a lot of very talented young people in our community. We are very much looking forward to receiving applications for this year’s bursary and hearing from the younger generation.”
Qualifying students must not have won the student bursary on a previous occasion, the applicant must be studying or has been accepted to study agriculture or allied subjects at a UK college or university at A-Level or higher and the applicant’s family home must be in Pembrokeshire.
The bursary is tax free and will be awarded to the student who, in the opinion of the panel of judges, has submitted the best dissertation on how the bursary will assist them to complete their course of study.
