Grow the Future of Agriculture with a $5,000 G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship

Six scholarships of $5,000 each are open to Canadian high school grads interested in farming and food.

Canadian high school students graduating in 2023 are eligible for one of six $5,000 scholarships from G3 Canada.

The future of agriculture is in your hands. As Canada grows, our food systems must evolve and change. That's why G3 is looking to students for new ideas!

Six G3 Grow Beyond scholarships are up for grabs this year, worth $5,000 each. Plus, each winner's high school will receive a $1,000 prize — your teachers will thank you!

Who is eligible for a $5,000 G3 Grow Beyond scholarship?

You don't have to be a budding farmer to apply for a scholarship. Whether you're interested in a career in agriculture or not, G3 wants to hear your ideas! You can apply if you're:

• a student at a Canadian high school
• graduating in 2023
• planning to enrol in a Canadian college or university
• not a resident of Quebec (sorry, the scholarship isn't open to Quebec residents)

Sound like you? Then you're eligible to submit an application for one of six $5,000 scholarships!

How do I apply for a G3 Grow Beyond scholarship?

To apply for a scholarship, just produce and share a short video of one to two minutes, describing your vision for the future of agriculture in Canada. You'll also need to submit any accompanying documents, as required, and share your post-secondary acceptance letter by mid-June.

That's it! G3 is seeking innovative, fresh perspectives from Canadian youth. In your video, explain how your ideas will make a difference, and describe how you'll contribute to leading Canada's food systems into the future.

How can I improve my chances at receiving a scholarship?

Once your video is complete, share it with friends and family! The public will vote on the videos and ideas they like the best — so gather up your loved ones and get them to vote! The more people who vote for your ideas, the better your chances at being selected for a scholarship.
