SouthGrow awarding two scholarships
Yes
As part of an ongoing effort to invest in the future of the agri-food economy of Southern Alberta, SouthGrow Regional Economic Development announced they will be awarding two $1,500 scholarships to deserving students in the region.
The scholarships are meant to support the academic advancements of promising young people who intend to use their education to participate in the regional agri-food economy.
“This is the second year that we’ve awarded these scholarships to students who want to build a career in the agri-food industry in southern Alberta,” says Jim Willett, Coutts Mayor and Chairperson of SouthGrow. “That can mean everything from taking your education back to the family farm, becoming an agronomist, using high tech at an industrial operation, or working at a processing facility making food for the world. There’s a lot of opportunity and we want to encourage our young people to consider agri-food as a career.”
