AgriEmpower Scholarships: Advancing Agriculture. Empowering Changemakers.

Applications close 30 June

Australia's agriculture industry is racing towards an ambitious $100 billion goal by 2030, and reaching it requires bold ideas, fresh thinking, and passionate leaders. 

 Woolworths and the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) have partnered to launch the AgriEmpower Scholarship – investing $400,000 over four years in future ag changemakers - and are offering 20 scholarships of $20,000 each to individuals aged 25-40 across the agricultural supply chain. This is your chance to get funding to: 

  • Make your innovative projects happen 

  • Develop skills and knowledge 

  • Gain experience to contribute to the sector 

We're looking for diverse thinkers who don't fit a single mould, but share a drive to enhance Australian agriculture. 

This partnership highlights a shared vision for a stronger future. As NFF President, David Jochinke, says: "This is an innovative approach, investing in the young thinkers and doers who will help us get there."

 Annette Karantoni, Woolworths Retail Managing Director added: "As Australia’s Fresh Food People, our connection to Australian farmers is fundamental. Our partnership demonstrates our commitment to the long-term strength and innovation of the Australian agriculture sector." 

 Beyond the $20k (which recipients have 18 months to use), you'll get access to valuable events and workshops hosted by Woolworths and NFF to build your network.
