Scholarships
High School Scholarships
The Manitoba Canola Growers Scholarship Program is available to Manitoba high school students who are enrolled in their final year of high school and eligible to graduate. Those eligible for a scholarship must live on, work for or have guardians that work for a farm that is a member of Manitoba Canola Growers Association (MCGA). The scholarship must be used in the two years following high school graduation. MCGA recognizes that people from a variety of educational faculties contribute to the success of the agriculture industry. For that reason we are keeping the eligibility open to all post secondary programs.
Students submit their applications, which are judged by an independent panel, based on academics, canola connection, school and community involvement, and essay submission. The top ten applicants are selected and each winner will be presented with a $1000 scholarship.
2026 Applications are now closed.
Thank you to everyone who applied. Winners will be announced soon.
