BEEF INDUSTRY SCHOLARSHIP

Are you interested in the beef industry? Does the idea of studying & traveling in the US appeal to you? If so then you should consider applying for the Michigan State University/Semex Genetics Scholarship.

This scholarship is offered by Angus Australia & provides a return air ticket to the US, a seat on the Semex Genetics Beef Breeders Tour, $2000 towards accommodation expenses & enrolment fees to the value of $2500. To be eligible for this scholarship you must be aged between 21 & 30 and be able to attend Sydney Show on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th April for the scholarship selection.

As a past winner of this scholarship I would highly recommend anyone with a passion for the beef industry to apply. The chance to study at Michigan State University is a huge privilege, it has amazing livestock facilities & I got to study some great units including Animal Evaluation, Feedlot Management, Animal Nutrition & Animal Reproduction. The chance to go on the Semex Tour is another highlight, not only to you get to see leading Angus sires but you also get to mingle with Semex reps from across the world.

But hurry, applications close Friday 18th March!
