Royal Agricultural Society Foundation Rural Scholarship: Students in rural and regional NSW often have to relocate in order to study, leaving behind the support of family and friends and feeling torn between their education and their obligations at home. Fortunately, assistance in the form of a RAS Foundation Rural Scholarship can help ease some worries and allow greater freedom to more regularly visit home and lend a hand. Scholarships of up to $6,000 for full-time study or $3,000 for part-time study are available.
