The Farmers' Union of Wales is inviting students living within the old Glamorgan county boundary - who have been accepted for a course in agriculture - to apply for a financial contribution towards books and equipment.
It is expected the union's Walter Rowlands Memorial Fund will be able to provide a total of £300 for successful students next year. This year it awarded £100 each to two Aberystwyth University students living in Glamorganshire.
Application forms and further details will be available at the union's mobile unit during this Saturday's (September 18) 51st all-Wales ploughing and hedging championships at Boverton Place Farm, near Llantwit Major.
Those wishing to apply are required to write a letter covering the following points - Your interests; Your activities; Details of the course for which you have been accepted; Your future ambitions; Why you think you should receive the award?
Letters should be sent by November 30 to Walter Rowlands Memorial Award, Farmers' Union of Wales, 58 Eastgate, Cowbridge CF71 7AB.
Mr Rowlands was the FUW's first county executive officer in Glamorganshire. He served the union from 1956 to 1985 when he passed away prematurely.
