The Crawford Fund highlights benefits to Australia and developing countries of research for agriculture and development; supports Australians in training developing country scientists and farmers, and young Australians in their careers, studies and volunteering for food and nutrition security.
The Crawford Fund is excited to launch two separate 2025 awards for students at Australian universities, as part of the Crawford Fund’s suite of opportunities in our NextGen program to encourage the next generation in agriculture for development. This year we have both the Crawford Fund Student Awards and our inaugural Crawford Fund Henzell Awards.
If you are at an Australian university, at either undergraduate or postgraduate level, one of these awards may offer you an opportunity to add an international component to your studies, experience, and career pathway.
International agricultural research for development needs people from a broad range of fields – agriculture, animal production, fisheries, forestry, natural resource management – in fact, any area broadly related to food and nutrition security! So both our Student Awards and our Henzell Awards are open to students involved in degrees beyond agriculture, such as social sciences, gender, environment, health, nutrition, communication, AI, data analytics, business or finance… if you can explain the connection with improving food and nutrition security, please get on board as agriculture for development needs you!
