Students of OFA families, who are entering or currently pursuing a post-secondary education in an agriculture-related program, are invited to apply now until August 31, 2020.
Bursary recipients will be selected from applicants who are OFA members, a child of, or employee of an OFA member and are residents of Ontario.
