Our objectives

Over the last 60 years the Nuffield Farming Scholarship Trust has provided over 800 people with a background in agriculture, its associated industries and the rural community the chance to travel to expand their knowledge and understanding.

 The aims of the Trust are to promote agricultural, horticultural, forestry and countryside management education in the UK and abroad; to advance the standard of UK farming (including the food supply chain, horticulture, forestry and countryside management) through the provision of scholarships enabling the study of practices and techniques employed anywhere in the world.

Any special conditions?

Scholarships are designed for 22-45 year olds who are taking a leading role in their organisation to step back and for their own benefit and the wider good of the industry study a topic about which they are passionate.

Applications are required by the 15^th November each year and study must be completed within 18 months of selection.
