This year, 11 recipients from across Victoria and South Australia have been awarded scholarships to support their higher education and career aspirations within the dairy and broader agricultural sector.

The Supplier Scholarship Program provides each recipient with up to $5000 in financial support, helping ease the cost of tertiary study and enabling students to develop the skills, knowledge and leadership capability to advance the future of dairy farming and regional communities.

SDA’s director of milk supply Kate Ryan said we’re proud to invest in the next generation of dairy industry leaders.

“These students bring passion, dedication and fresh thinking to the industry, and we’re pleased we can support them as they build careers that will help strengthen dairy farming and regional communities for the future.”

The 2026 scholarship recipients are undertaking studies across agriculture, agronomy, veterinary science, veterinary nursing and related disciplines, with many planning to return to regional areas to support farmers through innovation, sustainability and best-practice dairy production
