Farming Scholarships for Women
From the Essex Newsman, 25th August 1918.
The Board of Agriculture are offering 10 free scholarships for women, tenable at the Midland Agricultural College, Kingston, Derby, for a combined practical and theoretical course in farming of about 22 weeks’ duration, to commence early in October. The scholarships will cover cost of maintenance and tuition; preference will be given to candidates over 21 years of age suitable for the positions of fore-women, under bailiffs, instructresses, etc. Only women who have had considerable practical experience on the land, and will undertake agricultural work for the duration of the war, will be eligible.
