Alumni Family Bursary
Attending the Faculty of Agriculture is often a family affair. In celebration of the generations of families who have attended the AC, the Alumni Association established the Alumni Family Bursary in 2008.
The Alumni Family Bursary fund recognizes students whose family members have also attended the AC. In this way, each generation of Aggies supports the next, ensuring continued access to agricultural education.
Bursary support would not be possible without the generosity of alumni. With annual gifts, the fund continues to grow, providing even greater support to students. With increasing costs of living and education, these bursaries bridge a critical gap that allows students to focus on their studies, instead of their finances.
Since established in 2008
Total students funded: 195 (as of March 2024)
Total value of awards from this fund: $175,265 (as of March 2024)
