Members of the Saskatchewan Farm Writers Association can access financial support to attend conferences or undertake professional development through the following:
Professional Development Fund
SFWA offers $2000.00 for one member to attend IFAJ and $1000.00 each to two members to attend CFWF. The money is to be awarded once registration and travel arrangements have been confirmed. Recipients will report to a future SFWA meeting upon their return.
Entrants must be SFWA members in good standing and not have more than 50 percent financial support from an employer to attend. Limit set on the awarding of bursaries to two consecutive years before requiring a one-year break from applicants.
In the event of more than one applicant the recipient will be determined by luck of the draw. If interested in either of these bursaries contact Marlene Hursh. Deadline for bursary application is July 2, 2025.
For more information, visit the CFWF website.
IFAJ-Alltech Young Leaders Award
Applicants must be 35 or under as of December 31 and be available to attend the bootcamp program and the IFAJ congress. For more information and deadlines, visit the IFAJ website.
