Who we are

Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust: "Leading positive change in agriculture"

Awarding life changing Scholarships that unlock individual potential and broaden horizons through study and travel overseas, with a view to developing farming and agricultural industries.

Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust award approximately 20 individuals each year with the opportunity to research topics of interest in either farming, food, horticulture or rural industries.

Scholars are able to travel anywhere in the world for a period of no less than 8 weeks to further their knowledge and understanding of their chosen study topic. On return from their travels a written report is submitted and published. Then they will present their findings and the recommendations at the Annual Nuffield Farming Conference. They are also expected to use all other means at their disposal to spread the knowledge they have gained within their industry and beyond.

Nuffield Farming Scholarships are an amazing opportunity that can benefit careers, industry and business, as well as advancing personal development. They are recognised worldwide and in many countries there is a network of scholars who will be pleased to assist UK Scholars.

The continued success of the Nuffield Farming Scholarships award programme and its many achievements are dependent upon the generous and ongoing support of industry bodies, associations, individuals and charities.
