Marcus Oldham Industry Scholarship
Published date April 28, 2010
To encourage and support young men and women who are keen to develop their career in the agricultural machinery industry, AGCO Australia have partnered with the Marcus Oldham College to create the Massey Ferguson Industry Scholarship.
Marcus Oldham College is Australia’s pre-eminent provider of agricultural and equine management education, with almost 50 years experience in educating, training and developing leaders of agriculture.
“We’re proud of this very important initiative and we’re also very pleased to be on board with a prestigious educational institution such as the Marcus Oldham College,” says Paul Darcy, Director Marketing for AGCO Australia. “Encouraging and supporting the next generation of leaders in our industry is not only an exciting proposition but one that will assist in continuing to foster a high calibre of graduates.”
The scholarship candidate will be chosen from an established selection process including a genuine interest in pursuing a career in the agricultural machinery industry.
The Massey Ferguson Scholarship will provide a student with financial assistance and an industry placement with AGCO Australia, allowing for valuable work experience and exposure to the industry.
In addition to the scholarship, AGCO Australia will also provide on loan to the college an MF3600 Series tractor. The tractor will be put to work in general farm duties around the college and the equine facility, as well as being used to provide valuable operator training.
