Woolworths and NFF launch the AgriEmpower Scholarship

The race to a $100 billion Australian agriculture industry by 2030 is on. And for the first time, Woolworths and the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) are seeking the nation’s most innovative minds to lead the charge. 

Joining forces to launch the AgriEmpower Scholarship, Woolworths and the NFF are investing $400,000 over the next four years to empower 20 exceptional young professionals. 

The AgriEmpower Scholarship will provide $20,000 to each recipient, to go towards their nominated project or to help advance their skills, knowledge or experience in any way that supports their ambitions to contribute to the future prosperity of the sector.

Applications are now open and people aged 25-40 are encouraged to submit their proposals for how they would intend to use the scholarship.

This partnership between the NFF and Woolworths demonstrates a shared commitment to building a stronger future for Australian agriculture and is just the beginning of a deeper partnership that will see the NFF and Woolworths collaborate on other key initiatives to support and advance the sector.

Applications close 30 June 2025.
