“I’m really grateful for the scholarship. It’s a great opportunity to finish my final year and hopefully pursue a career in nutrition in the agriculture sector.”
Nine Harper Adams University students have been awarded scholarships from the Staffordshire and Birmingham Agricultural Society.
Representing the agriculture society and presenting the scholarships, society president Michael Heenan, said: “This is the largest number of these bursaries that we’ve given away since the scheme started.
“That just indicates the high level of entry of the applications for this scheme.”

The students presented with the awards were: Thomas Whittaker, William Roobottom, Emily Smith, Catherine Johnson, Grace Gibbs, Harry Bowers, Georgina Wager, Phillip Robinson and Emily Morris.
On receiving the award, BSc (Hons) Bio-veterinary Science student, Catherine Johnson, 20, said: “I’m really grateful for the scholarship. It’s a great opportunity to finish my final year and hopefully pursue a career in nutrition in the agriculture sector.”
