OAC Scholarships

info@aggies.ca (SFOAC) — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 19:27:17 +0000

OAC would like to encourage students to check the undergraduate scholarships posted on the website at http://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/studentfinance/index.cfm?app=awards and encourage you to apply for any that you believe you may be qualified for.

At this time, we believe that most of our scholarships will be available for the 2011/12 calendar year as well as for convocation in June. However, this is not a guarantee of their availability should market conditions change.

It is better to apply for the scholarships now and not miss out on any that are available than not to apply and miss the opportunity. Convocation scholarship applications are due in April and Fall awards applications are due in May.

Applications can be emailed directly to me at bbailey@uoguelph.ca

CFBMC Awards

info@aggies.ca (SFOAC) — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 18:30:42 +0000

Each year, the Canadian Farm Business Management Council (CFBMC) holds the Excellence Award for Agricultural Students Contest. The Award is designed to help students develop their communication skills by having the opportunity to voice their opinion on a on a subject related to farm business management. Submissions are collected from agricultural students across Canada and three winners are awarded a $1,000 cash prize to help them further their education in agriculture.

The Excellence Award for Agricultural Students continues to be a popular means of connecting with the next generation of professional farm managers while challenging them to reflect on the important issues facing the industry. To keep this contest up to date with social media trends and appeal to a greater audience, the Council is asking for video submissions.

Agricultural students are asked to submit videos, responding to the following question:

As a future farm manager, how will you balance the environmental stewardship necessary for the safeguarding of our water, air and soil with the need to be productive and competitive in a global economy?

The winning videos will be posted and archived on CFBMC’s official website www.farmcentre.com and winners will be announced through popular press.

Videos should be 3-5 minutes in length. The content should keep the attention of the audience while being informative and innovative. Applicants must be 16 years of age as of December 31, 2010 and be enrolled in a field related to agriculture or agri-food at a recognized post-secondary educational institution.

All applications must be received no later than March 31, 2011.

For more information about the Award and to fill-out the online application form, please click here or visit the New Farmer Section on CFBMC’s official website, www.farmcentre.com.

Please share this information with students who are enrolled in an agriculture-related program and pass it onto other departments and colleagues as appropriate.

If you have any questions concerning the Excellence Award for Agricultural Students Contest, please feel free to contact Mathieu Lipari at mathieu@cfbmc.com
