Post secondary students wanting to pursue an education with an agriculture focus can now apply for a prestigious scholarship.

There are four awards available through the 2026 Agriculture Student Scholarship. The grand prize is valued at $6,000 with three runner up scholarships are $3,000 each.

2025 Agriculture Student Scholarship grand prize winner Abbey Norek said there are many careers and opportunities in agriculture.

“I want to bring more awareness to them,” Norek said. “Trying to get more young people involved in spreading awareness about agriculture and improving public perception is important.”

This year’s theme is solutions to challenges in agriculture. Scholarship applicants are encouraged to explore innovative farming practices, new technologies and creative ways industry can solve current and future challenges facing the industry. The scholarship encourages applicants to share their personal perspectives on the future of agriculture in Saskatchewan.
