MELFORT, Sask. — The G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship is being awarded to six individuals pursuing an education in agriculture related studies.

The winners were chosen from a field of roughly 50 candidates who applied through a video presentation and explained how they would drive innovation in agriculture.

Three people from Saskatchewan; Kacey Code, Zoee Aussant and Jessica Davey will receive the scholarship along with Stefan Schaible Schur and Ebunoluwa Makinde from Manitoba, and Rachel Zhu from Ontario.

The candidates’ videos were posted online, and public voting formed part of the overall score in the selection process. The website saw more than 63,000 visits with videos played more than 17,000 times and more than 16,000 votes cast.

G3 CEO Don Chapman said the company was pleased to help launch some very promising and impressive young people on the path to their educational and career goals.

“While we could only award six scholarships, it was obvious from the video applications that there are many more talented and inspirational young men and women with great futures ahead of them in agriculture and beyond,” Chapman said in a news release.

The videos of all the applicants are available for viewing at g3growbeyond.org.

Each winner will receive $4,000 for their post-secondary education. Each of their high schools will also receive $1,000. The scholarship is presented in partnership with Agriculture in the Classroom Canada.

G3 will present the scholarship again in 2022.
