1. Bursaries are available to students continuing their education at a College or University. Students must be enrolled in an agricultural or environmental science program.

3. Each student may obtain a bursary only once.
4. Applicants must be Alberta residents. Applicants residing in the province but attending school outside the province are eligible, and should apply to their local municipal Ag. Fieldman.
5. The applicant is required to supply a copy of their marks from the last year of high school attendance, together with a letter of acceptance and course of studies planned at a post-secondary institution. The applicant, if chosen, shall supply a photo to the AAAF for inclusion in the Association newsletter.
6. The AAAF shall award bursaries on a regional basis upon the consensus of the Agricultural Fieldmen in each region, based on scholastic standing, social and community activities, and chosen program of study. Their decision is final. Prior to contacting the successful applicant, the AAAF Regional Directors shall ensure that the successful applicant has not been awarded a AAAF Memorial Bursary in another region.
7. High school graduates just entering their post-secondary studies will be given priority over students in subsequent year’s studies.
