Tertiary scholarships open

Written by 

Rural insurer, FMG, is now accepting applications for their tertiary agriculture scholarship programme.

Each year FMG provides two promising students the opportunity to develop their talents by contributing $4000 towards their tuition fees for each year of their undergraduate agriculture degree at Lincoln or Massey University.

General manager advice and insurance, Conrad Wilkshire says FMG is committed to helping rural New Zealand thrive. Conrad explains, "We have a long and rich rural history so it makes sense that we invest in the future of New Zealand's agricultural industry. We're proud to be associated with the innovation, education and leaders that will take New Zealand farming into the future".

The FMG Agriculture Scholarship launched in 2006 to celebrate the organisations' Centennial. FMG's Agriculture Scholarships have already given 15 students the opportunity to contribute to the agriculture sector.

Applications for the 2013 scholarships are open until December 15 and successful scholars will be announced by early March 2013. For more information, go to www.fmg.co.nz.

FMG are also sponsors of Taratahi Agricultural College in the Wairarapa and the Nuffield Agricultural Scholarships.
