Successful applicants receive $40,000 to fund 15 weeks of study overseas across 18 months.
Nuffield Australia CEO and 2013 Nuffield Scholar Jodie Redcliffe said the scholarships offer a unique opportunity to visit, learn from and collaborate with some of the world’s leading agricultural businesses.
Nuffield Australia awards about 20 scholarships annually, focusing on advancing sustainable and profitable primary production.
The scholarships provide a unique global learning experience, allowing scholars to remain competitive and grow their skill sets.
Scholarships build capacity for individuals, their businesses and the broader industry.
Nuffield scholars in recent years have included Wanganella’s Tom Hooke (2019 scholar), who applied to research innovative regenerative agriculture principles to apply to Australian pastoral sheep enterprises, and Tocumwal’s Aimee Snowden (2022 scholar), who studied education in agriculture.
Ms Redcliffe said Nuffield Australia would again offer up to five drought resilience-specific scholarships this year, supported by the Federal Government’s Future Drought Fund.
“Nuffield is proud to partner with the Future Drought Fund to deliver specific drought resilience scholarships and weave the topic through our scholarship programs and training.
“This will give all our scholars the knowledge and experiences to understand the topic and make a difference in their communities.”
Nuffield Australia encourages applications for research topics relevant to any or all industries in the Australian agricultural sector. Applications close on Friday, May 31.
Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed during June, with a final round of interviews in August.
Successful recipients will be announced at the Nuffield Australia National Conference in Launceston from September 2-6.
