Masstock and Harper offer £4,500 scholarship

Harper Adams and Masstock Arable are offering a postgraduate degree scholarship worth £4,500.

The opportunity gives the successful applicant the chance to study without the burden of course fees, plus practical work experience and even the possibility of a structured career path with agronomy-led input supplier Masstock.

It provides an insight and experience in all aspects of modern arable supply business – agronomy, product management, environmental stewardship, advanced arable research and innovative information transfer.

Current scholar, 23-year-old Graham Poole from Graignamanagh in Ireland, says: “Both the financial support and the continual help I have received since winning the scholarship has been a great help to my success within the course and has opened many future career opportunities for me within the industry.

“Having contact with a well-known company such as Masstock, within the arable sector, has been very interesting and helpful.”

Masstock business manager Nigel Francis says: “If you believe that the hugely important business of crop production and agronomy is a role you’d be interested in, please consider the Masstock Scholarship – it could lead to an enjoyable, rewarding and life-long career.”

This scholarship is available to UK residents considering the postgraduate Crop Protection and Agronomy course at the University College in Shropshire.

The closing date for applications is 28 June 2011. More information on how to apply here.
