In 2005, Coca Cola agreed to sponsor a five year National Scholarship with the Australian Council of Agricultural Societies (ACAS). Scholarships valued at $2,000 will be awarded annually to persons who are studying agricultural related subjects at a tertiary institution and are Members of an affiliated Agricultural Society
The Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia (RAS) proudly supports this National Scholarship and sees it as an opportunity for the recipients to begin or continue to develop a strong relationship with their Agricultural Society, their community, RAS and in the future, as Councillors of RAS.
In addition to the Scholarship, the RAS has also awarded each winner a RAS Special Membership.
