Northern Grampians Shire municipal leaders have encouraged young farmers in the shire to apply for the State Government’s 2019 Upskill and Invest – Young Farmers Scholarships.
Cr Tony Driscoll said the shire was home to many young farmers.
“We certainly urge all of our young farmers to apply, as it is a great opportunity to not only get some financial assistance, but upskill themselves at the same time,” he said.
The government will invest $500,000 into the scholarship program during the next four years, with up to $10,000 per scholarship available to young people to help continue developing the skills they need to build successful careers in agriculture.
