2018 Conference Scholars

We are continuing our successful conference scholarships as part of our efforts to encourage young people in their study, careers and volunteering in international agricultural research.

Scholarships are offered to young Australians with a genuine interest in international agricultural development, to attend the Crawford Fund conference in Canberra.

Former conference scholars confirm this is a unique learning, networking and mentoring opportunity. The positive feedback we received from last year’s Scholars is available here.

The scholars are involved in two ½ days of activities in addition to the conference and they engage with keynote speakers, experienced Australian agricultural researchers and educators, and other passionate young people who have experience overseas in developing countries as researchers, volunteers or mentors.

Since the program started in 2010, we have had more than 220 scholars participate. You can hear some of the scholars being interviewed from our 2016 conference here.

To help us in our efforts, the Crawford Fund is offering delegates the opportunity to donate additional funds, above their registration fees, for this purpose.
