Canada’s OYF offering two scholarships in 2016

Mar. 21, 2016 - Canada's Outstanding Young Farmers' (OYF) program is once again offering two $1000 scholarships to Canadian agriculture students. Applications for the 2016 awards will be accepted until June 30, 2016.

The OYF Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to one individual entering post-secondary education from high school, and one individual who has already completed at least one year of post-secondary study. Applicants must be pursuing a diploma or degree in agriculture.

The late Martin Streef, OYF alumnus, established this scholarship program to help future generations of Canadians pursue their passion for agriculture. Streef was the 1996 winner of both Ontario's and Canada's Outstanding Young Farmers and president of Streef Produce Ltd, a family-run fresh fruit and vegetable business in Woodstock, Ont.
