Abstract
THE Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries invites applications for ten senior scholarships, tenable at agricultural colleges or university departments of agriculture, for diploma or degree courses in an agricultural subject or at veterinary colleges for courses in veterinary science; and for six extended junior scholarships (for those who have already held junior awards), and thirty junior scholarships, tenable at farm institutes or similar institutions, for courses not exceeding a year in duration, in agriculture, horticulture, dairying or poultry husbandry. The scholarships are open to the sons and daughters of agricultural workmen or of working bailiffs, smallholders and other rural workers whose means and method of livelihood are comparable with those of agricultural workmen, and to persons who are themselves bona fide workers in agriculture. The value of the awards is such that neither the recipients nor their parents are normally required to make any contribution towards the cost of training provided. The usual method of selection is by interview, no written examination being held. Further information can be obtained from the Secretary of the Ministry, Block 4, Bickenhall Mansions, Baker Street, London, W.1, or from the offices of County Councils. The latest date for submitting applications is April 30.
