TWO students from North Yorkshire have been awarded scholarships through Harper Adams University.
Miles Metcalfe, 23, a fifth year Agricultural Engineering student originally from Northallerton, and spent a year at German farm machinery company CLAAS on a work experience programme.
He said: "I feel very privileged to be receiving this scholarship and look forward to the possibility of working for CLAAS in the future.
“In the future, post-graduation, I hope to work for CLAAS as a Product Specialist. I think it will be an advantage, having an in-depth applied engineering knowledge, particularly of the CLAAS products."
Oliver Taylor, 20, from Thirsk is working towards an agriculture degree and received the Mercer Scholarship, sponsored by farmer and Harper Adams University Chairman of Governors Roger Mercer.
Oliver said: “My ambition is to continue to gain new skills which will help with my career and to continue developing my flock to increase its popularity and the ability to produce top-quality breeding stock."
