A Global Footprints Scholarship is a self-directed career development opportunity for young Australians in agriculture, trades and horticulture. Successful applicants receive an AUD $8,000 grant to travel overseas for industry experience, professional development workshops, networking opportunities and mentoring.
Scholarships are awarded once a year.
To be eligible for a 2023 Global Footprints Scholarship you must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident and meet our age and skill requirements in one or more of this year’s scholarship categories.
During your scholarship you are expected to complete a minimum of four weeks of industry placement. This may include work experience, training, networking events and other industry activities. Most scholars travel for 2-3 months. We want you to get the most out of your scholarship opportunity and longer placements will be viewed favourably. There is no limit as to how long you can go for, however, you must share what you have learned on your trip with us within 6 months of departure.
