“These post-scholarship opportunities reflect our commitment to supporting alumni as lifelong learners and leaders,” said Jodie Redcliffe, CEO of Nuffield Australia. “By enabling scholars to continue building their capabilities, we’re strengthening their individual contribution to Australian agriculture and the broader industry.”
“We heard from an impressive array of speakers who challenged us to think globally, strategically, market better, and manage our resources – be it time, people or assets.”
To be eligible, applicants must be Nuffield Australia alumni who have completed and submitted their scholarship report. Selection will be based on course suitability, the applicant’s continued engagement with Nuffield and its investors, and their plans to share the learnings with others.

“The Rabobank EDP course has been an excellent opportunity to step away from the farm, take an umbrella view of our business and focus on direction and strategy. As with Nuffield, it is great to meet like-minded people who challenge you and help you to expand and grow.”
