agricultural industry from an early age.

The Topic
Although
Scholars are selected for their personal qualities, to gain an award candidates
must provide justification for their topic. It must be of interest to
themselves and likely to be of benefit to the industry as a whole.
Sponsors
This study
is jointly funded by the Natwest Bank Award, however any other support would be
welcome. This could range from time, information, flights to conference fees.
After The
Study
Nuffield’s
aim is for Scholars to be the brightest and best of a new generation of managers
within agriculture. It is hoped they will be key influencers within the
industry and that they will help shape the industry with particular reference
to their study area. Their report is a valuable industry reference source.

initial goal was to provide support for health and social well-being including Fellowships
and Scholarships in medicine but later extended to Farming after the war. Scholars
are selected from the UK, France, Australia, New
Zealand and Canada
Scholars
will travel and upon their return are expected to use all means at their
disposal to spread their new knowledge including the writing of an industry
report to be published by the Trust.
