Applications for a bursary award are geared at young people to study and gain qualifications in a farming or agriculturally related subject. Courses can be either educational or vocational.
Tom Henderson, president for the society, urged young people to get in quick as there is just six weeks to apply.
Mr Henderson said: “We are delighted to be continuing with the bursary scheme. We made eight awards in 2023 and we are looking forward to seeing what applications come in this year.
“Since the Bursary Scheme started, we have paid out £23,235. Examples of the types of areas that the bursary has been awarded for include, land management studies, veterinary medicine courses, HGV licences, and sheep shearing courses to name but a few, chainsaw courses, etc.
“Full details of how to apply and the conditions can be found on the Black Isle Show website. We want to ensure that people know they only have until April 15 to apply.”
