Jeremy Upton Scholarship Program
RIST Scholarship fund – Now taking 2025 applications
Established in 2023, RIST’s former chairperson, Jeremy Upton, was passionate about supporting young people in their agricultural training. Through this scholarship program, we aim to honour his legacy and inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders.
Jeremy Upton Scholarships will assist students to meet the costs of tuition fees and other educational expenses which without this support would inhibit their education and training pathways.
