John Innes Foundation Undergraduate Bursary

The John Innes Foundation Undergraduate Bursary Award Scheme supports one student per year who is taking a three- or four-year degree course in Agriculture or a related discipline. This opportunity provides not only a bursary to cover course fees, but also mentoring from Keith Norman, JIF Trustee, farming consultant and former director at Velcourt UK. The student will also benefit from work experience opportunities during university breaks with placements offered at many organisations including NIAB, Hutchinsons and the National Trust Farms. The bursary will cover the full annual cost of tuition fees for full-time undergraduate students eligible for home fee status (UK nationals). The Foundation has a long and generous history of supporting education, and the undergraduate bursary scheme was established in 2017. The successful student must be from a non-farming background, have the need for financial assistance to complete the university course, and be enrolled on a full time, three-year, BSc (Hons) degree course in either Agriculture, Crop Production or Environmental Science. Financial need is assessed on the amount of disposable income available in the household through a third-party financial audit assessment.
