Grace Moscrip, who received the Whangārei A&P Society's annual Agricultural Scholarship in 2019, is urging others keen to get into the industry to apply.
Young Northlanders looking to study to enter a career in the primary sector next year can apply for Whangārei A&P Society's annual Agricultural Scholarship.
Entries are now open for the scholarship, which was recently increased to $9000 to provide greater assistance to cover study costs over a three-year period, for
the successful applicant.
Last year's scholarship recipient Grace Moscrip from Hukeranui, said the scholarship has been invaluable for her and she urged others keen to get into the industry to apply.
''The Whangārei A&P Society Agricultural Scholarship has helped me to follow my goal of studying a bachelor of agricultural science at Lincoln University. The scholarship will allow me to work towards becoming a rural professional in the future and helping to make a positive difference in the sector,'' Moscrip said.
''Although my first year at university has been far from normal, I have still gained a great learning experience and lots of personal growth. Being able to network with like-minded individuals and making friends whilst at university has definitely been the highlight so far and I am very excited to see what the next three years has to offer.
