Centennial Primary Sector Secondary Teacher Training Scholarship

The C Alma Baker Charitable Trust Centennial Primary Sector Secondary Teacher Training Scholarship supports students with interests in agriculture, horticulture, agribusiness and animal science to undertake teacher training and become high school teachers.

The C Alma Baker Charitable Trust was founded to further the science of agriculture and to advance education. The Trust recognises the current scarcity of high school teachers with a degree in one of the primary sector science areas. In its Centennial year, the C Alma Baker Trust has created this scholarship to help alleviate that shortage and encourage a new generation of high school students to consider careers in the primary sectors.
The value of the scholarship is $45,000. The tenure is one year to align with the extended academic year.
