Students with an agricultural background are encouraged to submit their application for a Manitoba Beef Producers bursary.
Six $500 bursaries are available to MBP members, or their children, who are attending a university, college or other post-secondary institution.
General Manager Brian Lemon says the main component of the application is an essay judged by MBP members.
“They should speak about the reasons why they enjoy being involved in agriculture. As you can imagine, with that as a topic there is a lot of really engaged and exciting young people in this industry. Then the opportunity for [the judges] to read the words they put on the page is an exciting and rewarding opportunity that makes everybody feel better about our future when you get a chance to read the inspiring words of these young people.
The application can be found at www.mbbeef.ca/producers/mbp-bursary and have to be submitted by June 1st.
