Subtrop Lindsey Milne Bursary
Subtrop Lindsey Milne is accepting applications for 2025 academic year bursaries.
Bursaries will be awarded for studies towards a BSc Agriculture degree (majoring in Agricultural Economics or Horticultural Science).
Every year, the bursary scheme provides financial assistance to students pursuing studies within the Subtropical fruit industry, in South Africa.
Bursaries are awarded for 1 academic year at a time, and are renewable each year based on satisfactory academic performance. The bursary value will depend on the needs of the students and will be reviewed annually.
Bursary recipients will be required to focus their seminars and projects on subtropical crops (avocado, mango, litchi) where possible.
Bursary recipients will be required to enter into a contractual agreement with Subtrop. After graduation, students will be required to work for SA Subtropical Growers’ Association (Subtrop) for an amount of time equal to their bursary award.
Bursary recipients who fail any courses for the bursary awarded, will be required to pay back the bursary over a period equal to the length of the bursary. Repayments will commence at the beginning of the year after the year in which the bursary was awarded.
