Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture (AESA) Scholarship
 proposal to support courses of study and projects.

The processing committee of the Alberta Environmentally Sustainable
 Agriculture (AESA) program has proposed to support courses of study and/or
 projects in the field of environment related to agri-food processing. The
 areas of support are broad, but must relate to the environment and the
 agriculture industry. Descriptions of the proposal, the AESA Program and
 the application process are attached.

Alberta has the potential to substantially increase its agri-food
 industry, however there are a number of issues that will impact the growth
 of the industry such as environmental sustainability. The AESA processing
 committee has identified the need to support the processing industry in
 key areas such as research and development. The committee also recognizes
 an opportunity to attract new students to the food processing industry and
 financial support such as a scholarship to students for courses and/or
 projects would be a strong incentive. A total budget of $10,000 per year
 with a maximum of $3,000 per student is available for this purpose. The
 application deadline for scholarship funding is December 15, 2007.

We would appreciate if you could forward this information to the
 appropriate students who may benefit from this scholarship. If you have
 any questions please contact  Michelle McKinnon at 403 948-8512 (access
 through the Government RITE line at 310-0000)  Scholarship information and
 application can also be obtained on the web at:
