University of Sydney offers 25 rural sustainability scholarships Australia's rural sector is at a turning point, prompting the University of Sydney to offer 25 scholarships for degrees in sustainable natural and agricultural systems to rural and regional New South Wales residents. Each scholarship will cover tuition fees for a degree with a focus on sustainability. Scholarships are worth $10,000 over three years. Professor Adams says the scholarships lend themselves to studying the Environmental Systems degree but can also include those wishing to enrol in Agricultural Science, and Agricultural and Resource Economics degrees. "Whatever field they focus on, students will leave the university with a better understanding of how to manage land for the challenges ahead with the likes of carbon sequestering in soil and prescribed fire," he says. He says students will need to have a passion for sustainability for example the carbon water food debate or climate change.
