In partnership with industry sponsors, the AgriFutures Horizon Scholarship is an initiative supporting students enrolled in full time study at an Australian university by providing:

  • a bursary of $5,000 per year for the first two years of your degree;
  • professional development workshops;
  • annual industry work placements aligned with the scholar’s areas of interest and their sponsor’s industry; and
  • opportunities to network and gain knowledge at a range of industry events.

To be eligible for the Horizon Scholarship, students must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident enrolled full-time in their first year of an agriculture-related degree at an Australian university with a maximum two-year gap between high school and tertiary study.

Applications for the scholarship close at 5.00pm AEDT, Friday 23 February 2018. Visit the AgriFutures website for more information, or read the 2018 AgriFutures Horizon Scholarship brochure.
