The G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship is returning in 2022. G3 launched the scholarship in 2020 in partnership with Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C).
The G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship is a way of helping students recognize and reach their full potential in leading change.
“A dozen bright young students have already been put on the path to academic success thanks to our scholarship program, and we’re excited to start the process to select 6 more,” states Don Chapman, President and Chief Executive Officer at G3.
The 2022 edition will include 6 scholarships worth $4000 each for post-secondary studies in any discipline. In addition, $1000 will be granted for each of the winners’ highs schools to further encourage innovation.
Applicants are required to submit a 2–4-minute video essay describing their idea for innovation in agriculture and how their studies will help achieve it.
"We are excited to be heading into the third year of the G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship program. It is so important for youth to get curious about agriculture and food, and to share their bright ideas for the future of technology and innovation in Canada," says Melissa Galay, Education Specialist for AITC-C.
All the applicants’ videos will be posted on the scholarship website where visits can cast a vote for their favourite. Winners will be chosen based partially on votes received, and the decision of a panel of judges.
“The ideas presented by all the applicants are inspiring, and I am looking forward to seeing this year’s entries,” adds Chapman.
