APPLICATIONS for 2026 Nuffield Farming Scholarships will open on January 29th, and those in the potato growing and supply sector have the chance to study a topic they are passionate about.
Nuffield Farming seeks to support and develop future leaders through scholarships that unlock individual potential through study and overseas travel, as well as advance UK agriculture through Scholars sharing their ideas upon their return.
Applications are welcomed from those aged 25-45 residing in the UK and working within or influencing the farming, food, horticulture, rural and associated industries. There is no requirement for academic qualifications or a connection to Nuffield Farming, but a passion for the chosen study topic and a willingness to learn are essential.
Nuffield Farming offers extensive support for applicants, including regular online ‘open evenings’ for questions about the process, assistance from local Nuffield Farming Scholars and mock interviews for those shortlisted.
The first online open evening will be held on January 29th at 7pm. During the event, there will be an opportunity to learn more about the application process and hear from 2023 scholar Roisin Taylor. Click here to register for this session.
