The Alberta Excellence in Agriculture Scholarship was established by the Alberta Wheat Board Monies Trust to encourage academic excellence of students currently enrolled in a post-secondary program in a discipline related to the field of agriculture. Four awards will be made; two for students in a diploma program and two for students in a degree program. In the event no applications are received for the diploma program or the degree program in a given year, the four scholarships will be awarded to students in the program that received applications. Applicants must have attended fall and winter terms in the previous academic year and be currently enrolled in the second or subsequent year of undergraduate post-secondary study in a diploma or degree program in a discipline related to agriculture. The recipient will be selected on the basis of academic achievement and enrollment in a discipline related to agriculture in the previous year. Preference will be given to students who have completed the Green Certificate Program. A copy of the Green Certificate is required if the applicant has completed the Green Certificate Program. Applicants must be a Canadian Citizen, Permanent Resident of Canada, or Protected Person under Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Visa students are not eligible. Applicants may apply online or send their application to the Alberta Heritage Scholarship Fund through mail. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
