Scholars Programme
The EEAS Scholars Programme will offer successful applicants the opportunity to develop their careers, skills and networks both personally and professionally, creating future leaders within industry.
The East of England Agricultural Society Scholars Programme launched in September 2023, with the view to support people working within agriculture and the associated industries to attend life changing courses and events. The programme will offer successful applicants the opportunity to develop their careers, skills and networks both personally and professionally, creating future leaders within industry.
The Scholarship Programme will build a network around its Scholars, offering more than just a funding opportunity. As part of your funding you will receive mentorship from past scholars, be invited to deliver talks on your learnings and experiences, and have the chance to feed into the wider Society. For more information, please take a look at our Scholar Commitment document, and selection criteria.
