Subtrop Lindsey Milne invites South Africa students to apply for Bursary Programme 2023 academic year.
Bursary Application Closing Date: 31 October 2022
Bursaries will be awarded for studies towards a BSc Agriculture degree (majoring in Agricultural Economics or Horticultural Science).
Every year, the bursary scheme provides financial assistance to students pursuing studies within the Subtropical fruit industry, in South Africa.
Bursaries are awarded for 1 academic year at a time, and are renewable each year based on satisfactory academic performance. The bursary value will depend on the needs of the students and will be reviewed annually.
Bursary recipients will be required to enter into a contractual agreement with Subtrop. After graduation, students will be required to work for SA Subtropical Growers’ Association (Subtrop) for an amount of time equal to their bursary award.
Subtrop will appoint a panel of judges to make the selection for the bursary, and successful applicants will be required to sign a contractual agreement. All candidates will receive feedback on the outcome of their application as soon as possible.
