RASF Manager Cecilia Logan said the program provides financial freedom for students in regional areas or those looking to work in a rural community.
“The RASF Rural Scholarship and VET Scholarship programs are vital in assisting students from regional NSW pursue their dream careers,” Mrs Logan said.
“For most regional students further study requires them to relocate and move away from their families.
“These scholarships are designed to help make that move or decision a little easier with funding to assist with accommodation, textbooks or income which allows them to focus on their studies.”
Since 2007, the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW Foundation (RASF) has invested over $6.2 million into country NSW through its education and community grant programs. This includes over 600 scholarships to students across NSW, including targeted scholarships for regional journalism and those pursuing careers in the Australian wine industry. Applications for the 2022 RASF Scholarship programs open on July 1.
The RAS Foundation is a charitable foundation that encourages educational opportunities and helps build strong and sustainable rural and regional communities through a range of targeted grants and scholarships.
