The Farrer Memorial Trust was established in 1911 to perpetuate the memory of William James Farrer and to encourage and inspire agricultural scientists. Initially it awarded scholarships for ’study or research in agricultural problems’. Later it included the delivery of an annual oration and the presentation of the Farrer Memorial Medal to a distinguished agricultural scientist for service rendered in the fields of research, education, or administration. Scholarships are now designed to support international travel and/or other learning and development by postgraduate students enrolled for a PhD on any aspect of agricultural cropping research.
Applicants must be:
- Postgraduate student enrolled for a PhD on any aspect of field crop research; and
- Citizen or permanent resident of Australia.
The Scholarships are designed to support international travel to include attendance at an international conference at which a paper or poster is being presented.
