If you are mid-career, passionate about Canadian agriculture
and 25 or older, this might be the experience of a lifetime for you!
You will be required to travel for a minimum of 10 weeks. There are no prerequisites of education or past awards. It is expected that you make a commitment to using this opportunity to contribute to Canadian agriculture by sharing your work and experiences. Nuffield Scholarships are not for those involved in full-time study, or for the purpose of furthering existing research projects.

After my two years the world is smaller, my business is more profitable and the farmers who hear my story are inspired. I can’t say enough about the opportunities that continue to generate through this wonderful network of likeminded passionate people.
