AGILITY serves students in all disciplines and faculties, with a focus on providing students with resources to enable transformative and innovative research with cultural, social and economic benefits for Alberta and beyond. One such support is the Cor Van Raay AGILITY Awards in Agriculture.

The Cor Van Raay AGILITY Awards in Agriculture are for qualified continuing undergraduate students with current involvement in agriculture or agribusiness or an interest in innovation and/or entrepreneurship related to agriculture or agribusiness.

 Applicants are invited to submit the paper application in addition to one of the following options:

  1. A one page description of their current involvement in activities related to agriculture (e.g. Junior Achievement, Canadian Youth Business Foundation, Community Futures, 4-H, self-initiated, family business, etc)
  2. A proposal for a project or research in an entrepreneurial endeavour or innovative development in agriculture or agribusiness.

The Cor Van Raay AGILITY Awards in Agriculture are valued at $1,500 each. Up to five scholarships will be awarded in the 2016/2017 academic year.

These opportunities are made possible through the generous philanthropic gift of one of southern Alberta’s most prominent agricultural entrepreneurs, Dr. Cor Van Raay (LLD ’15).  With Dr. Van Raay’s  vision as the foundation for this award, the University of Lethbridge AGILITY program is excited to be advancing opportunities to educate future generations in agribusiness innovation.

Deadline for applications is November 1, 2016.
