Farmers and crofters looking to learn more about livestock health and welfare are invited to apply for this year’s Moredun Foundation scholarship.
The scholarship scheme, which launched at the end of 2011, will fund work experience, travel, or collaborations with science or the arts.
This year, up to three scholarships will be awarded to those looking to pursue a short-term project to broaden their education and experience in livestock health and welfare.
Applications are open to individuals over the age of 18 who are living in the UK.
Moredun Foundation chairman, Ian Duncan Miller, said: “These scholarships are a great way for those in the livestock industry to pursue a short-term project or further develop their own knowledge of livestock health.
“Recipients of this award to date have carried out some fantastic diverse projects which have broadened the horizons of the individual involved, while adding useful knowledge to the promotion of livestock health and welfare.”
The closing date for applications is Tuesday June 30 and successful applicants will be notified in writing by Monday August 31.
Scholarship recipients will be expected to complete their projects by August 31, 2016.
More information and an application form is available on the Moredun website at www.moredun.org.uk/scholarship.
