Nuffield Canada Announces 2025 Scholars

Ottawa, ON – Two people each from Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia have been selected as 2025 Nuffield Canada Scholars. The four recipients will each receive a $20,000 scholarship to challenge themselves in self-directed research programs with international travel and experiential learning thanks to Nuffield Canada and its generous sponsors.
 
“The Nuffield journey is life changing for scholars as they travel the world to research and develop expertise that will reshape our Canadian agricultural sector with innovation, global perspectives and thought leadership,” says Steve Larocque, Chair of Nuffield Canada and 2008 Scholar.
 
Scholarship recipients can come from all areas of primary production, industry, or governance of agriculture, and are required to do a minimum of 10 weeks of travel study within 24 months to examine and research an agriculturally relevant issue of their choosing. Each scholar prepares a written report of their research findings and then presents a summary to the Nuffield Board, with peers, sponsors and industry leaders in attendance.
 
Nuffield Canada Scholar Reports are available free of charge on the Nuffield web site. Scholars are also available as speakers and panellists to share their learnings to industry, stakeholders and beyond.
