Bursaries

To further the OFC's charitable objectives, the voluntary Council of Directors have been working to secure support from businesses and trusts, to enable the conference to offer bursaries to individuals who may otherwise be unable to attend the event due to financial constraints.

Awarded to individuals who are actively working in the food, farming and agricultural sector, or with an evidenced pathway to enter the industry, these bursaries will fully-fund the cost of a ticket to the conference in Oxford from 8 to 10 January 2025, as well as offering accommodation and a small grant for use towards travel. This is kindly supported by The NFU Mutual Charitable Trust and other partners.

You must be a resident in the UK, and OFC is keen to see applications from individuals who may have recently moved to the country as a result of conflict overseas.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

• A full ticket to the conference from 8 to 10 January 2025, including lunch
• Accommodation for two nights at Christ Church College (8th and 9th January 2025), with breakfast
• The Christ Church dinner on Thursday 9th January 2025

•     18 years of age or over
•     Not attend the Oxford Farming Conference before
•     Able to attend the full two-day conference in Oxford in January 2025
•     Resident in the UK
