Cargill Scholarship (with one year work placement)

The Cargill Scholarship is offered to 2nd year BSc or 1st year FdSc students studying at Harper Adams University who are interested in pursuing a career in the Pig Industry. The scholarship provides a significant contribution of £4,500 towards education along with employment during the placement year with Cargill, a sponsoring pig industry company. The award is paid in two equal parts: half in February 2026 and the remaining balance in May 2026. A mandatory condition of the scholarship is that the placement year must be spent with the sponsoring organisation. This is a competitive, merit-based award evaluated on the submitted application, academic achievements, and interview performance. The Scholarship Panel's decision is final. Subject to a review at the end of the placement with the sponsoring firm, there may be an opportunity for further funding in the scholar's final academic year. Students can apply for a maximum of 3 placement-based scholarships through the Student Dashboard.
