FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who can apply?
Anyone who is involved in farming in Scotland and is classed as a “young farmer” being under the age of 30 when the proposed trip is to commence AND is prepared to use the knowledge and experience gained on the trip to benefit farming in Scotland in the future.
Can I apply to the Trust more than once?
No. The Trust will only support one application per person
Can I travel on my own or do I need to be part of an organised group?
You can travel on your own but you will need to demonstrate that you have thoroughly researched what you plan to do and that you have a support network that you can call on if things go wrong while you are away.
Do I need to contribute to the trip or will the Trust pay for everything?
The Trustees will expect you to make a contribution, the amount of which will depend on your personal circumstances.
How much will the Trust pay?
That depends on how long you are going for and how much the trip is costing. Trustees are very supportive of longer trips.
What is the minimum amount of time that I need to go for?
The Trustees believe that the longer the trip, the more that you will benefit. This, however, does not rule out shorter trips if you can demonstrate that the trip will be a beneficial and rewarding experience.
What types of applications have been successful in the past?
Previous successful applications in the past have included – Group trips with the SAYFC to Argentina, California and Chile; trips to Europe with the Scottish College of Agriculture; individual trips to Agricultural conferences in x and x ; work experience in Australia and New Zealand; study trip to Zimbabwe
Do I need to submit a report to Trustees when I return?
Yes. Part of your grant will depend upon Trustees receiving a written report on your experiences.
How do I submit my application?
Online through this website
What happens after I submit my application?
Your application will be reviewed and if it there is nothing in the application which disqualifies it, then you will be invited for an interview with Trustees. Thereafter you will be notified of the level of support granted. Payment of the grant will be in two parts. The first payment will be made when evidence is produced that the trip is going ahead – flight tickets/ confirmation of a place on the group trip/ accommodation booking etc. The balance payable when Trustees have received your written report.
