Two veterinary science students at Charles Sturt University (CSU) have been awarded prestigious cattle industry scholarships. Ms Katherine Snell, from Merrigum in northern Victoria and Ms Tahlia Ling from Forest in Tasmania have each won a $10 000 scholarship from export meat processor HW Greenham and Sons to encourage future agricultural leaders.  Ms Snell and Ms Ling are studying a Bachelor of Veterinary Biology/ Bachelor of Veterinary Science through the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at CSU in Wagga Wagga. Head of School, Professor Nick Sangster has praised their achievements.  “Ms Snell and Ms Ling are good examples of the many Charles Sturt University students who aspire to contribute to local industries,” he said. “Charles Sturt University is a magnet for accomplished young people from across the country with production animal skills.” Now in her final year of study, Ms Snell says the scholarship will help kick start her career. “I plan to travel overseas and see first-hand the issues faced by dairy farmers and their advisors on an international scale,” she said.
