Thinking about an education in agriculture? There are many exciting career paths in your future! Apply now for the 2026 Agriculture Student Scholarship.

Saskatchewan Grade 12 students and recent high school/GED graduates (within the last two years) have the chance to win a grand-prize scholarship of $6,000 or one of three runner-up scholarships of $3,000 when they submit a three-minute video or 1,000-word essay on solutions to challenges in agriculture. This year’s scholarship theme asks young people to clearly articulate a challenge that the agriculture industry faces, with special consideration to how this affects public trust in agriculture, then explore creative solutions to solving the challenge. Submissions can focus on how the industry can improve its practices, adopt new technologies, communicate practices more effectively or other ways the industry can enhance trust with the public. Applicants are encouraged to be thoughtful with their submissions and to include sourced evidence along with personal perspective. A good submission includes facts to support the analysis/commentary. 

This scholarship program is designed to identify intelligent and ambitious young agriculture leaders and provide successful candidates with financial support for their education. To be eligible for this scholarship, applicants must be planning to take an agriculture-related post-secondary education program beginning in the fall of 2026.

The deadline to apply is March 1, 2026.
