The Hooson Award is a financial grant for anyone studying or working in agriculture or horticulture to attend a conference or seminar of their choice. To qualify you should live in Kent and be under the age of 25 at time of application. We require a written submission explaining what you are studying or the area you are working in, which conference you would like to attend and how attending this conference will assist your future career development. Applications should be received at least 8 weeks prior to the conference. Applications will be considered by the committee, and applicants may be required to attend an interview before a final decision is made.

Your application will be sent direct to the Features and Competitions Co-ordinator. This will then be discussed with the Charitable Activities Committee.
