Alberta Barley Commission Eugene Boyko Memorial Scholarship

The Eugene Boyko Memorial Scholarship was created in 2002 by the Alberta Barley Commission to recognize and encourage students entering the field of crop production and/or crop processing technology studies. Eugene Boyko, who passed away in the spring of 2001, was a long-time director of the Alberta Barley Commission. He was known for his commitment to agriculture and support of improved and innovative farming techniques.

Applicants must be Canadian citizens, Permanent Residents, or Protected Persons residing in Alberta. They must have attended fall and winter terms in the previous academic year and must not have previously received this scholarship. Applications are accepted between August 1 and October 31 each year.
