The application process is now open for the Irish Tillage and Land Use Society (ITLUS) Rosenbohm US farm scholarship.

The scholarship, which is run in conjunction with the Ulster Arable Society and supported by the Irish Farmers Journal, offers students the opportunity to apply for a three-month placement, running from 1 September 2025 to 1 December 2025, on a 5,000ac farm in Missouri in the United States of America.

The Rosenbohm scholarship is designed to provide international farming experience to an individual involved in agriculture in Ireland.
