West Country Dairy Awards

The West Country Dairy Awards were established in 1925 and provide grants to people studying courses related to the dairy industry. The awards distribute over £10,000 every year to support students of all ages who are undertaking further education courses related to the dairy industry. Funds are available to sons and daughters of farmers or farm employees, or students who can demonstrate commitment to the dairy industry and show aptitude to 'add value' to the industry. Applicants must live in one of the following four counties in the South West of England: Cornwall, Devon, Dorset or Somerset. The program provides financial support for undergraduate and postgraduate studies, as well as UK travel and subsistence costs. From time to time, funds are also available through the WD, KW and BW Pocock Memorial Fund for postgraduate scholarships in Dairy Science.
