The Gen Ag Future Fund will make up to $3,000 available per annum to an individual to assist with (a) further education or (b) costs to undertake a specific project that will benefit the Australian fodder industry. Project-based activity that is being undertaken within a field of further education may also be considered eligible. Applications are now open for the inaugural Gen Ag Future Fund.
Applications will be considered from Australian citizens aged 18-30 years at the time of application who are current or eligible Gen Ag members of AFIA. Funding under the Gen Ag Future Fund will be awarded, based on a written application, to an individual who is deemed can make a demonstrable long-term contribution to the Australian fodder industry and more broadly, Australian agriculture.
Individuals are required to submit the following as part of their application*:
1) Full name, mailing address, email address and telephone contact numbers.
2) A current resume detailing all current and previous work experience including employers, roles and responsibilities.
3) Education completed or being undertaken including transcripts of all results achieved to date.

6) A current photograph.
7) A maximum of 500 words describing how you would apply the funds from the Gen Ag Future Fund if you were the successful applicant. This may comprise a synopsis of project work that you are undertaking or considering undertaking or it may describe the completion of additional education and how these funds will be used as part of this.
