Student Bursaries Made Available By The OFA

Three student bursaries are being offered by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.

The federation notes the funds for the bursaries were raised through a silent auction at its 2016 Annual General Meeting.

Each award is worth $2,000.

The federation says all applications must be from students of OFA families to be eligible.

Interested students should be able to demonstrate an interest in agriculture and rural issues, community involvement, volunteer accomplishments and satisfactory academic performance.

Application forms are due by June 30th and can be found on the federation's website, OFA.on.ca.

The selected recipients will be announced at the 2017 OFA annual meeting in Toronto this fall.
