Land Rover has announced the launch of its fourth annual bursary in partnership with The Prince’s Countryside Fund.
The bursary will offer a year-long loan of a Land Rover Discovery Sport to the UK’s most enterprising and entrepreneurial young people working in rural Britain.
Five winners will be provided with a Discovery Sport, known for its capability over a wide variety of terrains and weather conditions, alongside Land Rover off-road and all terrain driver training.
Scott Dicken, Jaguar Land Rover UK Marketing Director said: “Our support of the Land Rover Bursary shares The Prince’s Countryside Fund’s vision to support future generations managing Britain’s rural communities.
“We share a passion for the countryside and we hope that the support of a new Land Rover Discovery Sport for a year will make a difference, improving the prospects for young entrepreneurs at the early stages of a rural business.”
Claire Saunders, Director of The Prince’s Countryside Fund said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Land Rover, once again, to provide young people embarking on a career in the countryside with vehicles that form the bedrock of everything they do.
“The past winners of the bursary have seen their businesses go from strength to strength over the year and we are excited to be doing it all over again. There is a real need for young people to be supported in every way possible and with so many keen to get into rural industries or develop their own businesses, we’re excited to see how these vehicles can help them achieve their dreams.”
Applications are now open and must be completed online by 31st May 2017. The Prince’s Countryside Fund Land Rover Bursary is open to UK residents aged between 21 to 35 living and working in a rural area.
