Angus Australia establishes Brazil beef scholarship

Angus Australia has established a scholarship to send a young member of the beef industry to Brazil.
With the support of the Council of Australian Latin American Relations (COALAR) Angus Australia will give a return ticket to Brazil, all internal travel to the host sites and accommodation with two Brazilian families.
Brazil overtook Australia as the world’s largest beef exporter in 2005 and last year exported 1.2 million tonnes of beef.
Angus Australia Youth Coordinator Jim Klarner says the scholarship is aimed at people between the ages of 18 and 25 involved in agriculture who have an interest in domestic and international livestock industries.
"The scholarship enables people from anywhere in Australia to apply without the need for interstate travel because of a decision to conduct interviews over the phone," Klarner says.
"The selection process will enable people with a range of backgrounds, educational attainments and experience to apply."
The scholarship application form is available at the Angus Australia website at www.angusaustralia.com.au and it must be submitted by close of business on Friday, October 5.
