About the [Re]Generation Fellowship
This fellowship program is both inspired by and an extension of the Herd Fellows program started at the Grassfed Exchange. Today, the [Re]Generation Fellows program continues to support the attendance of beginning farmers, ranchers and land stewards at REGENERATE.
The fellowship also supports community leaders or seasoned land stewards who are interested in participating in intergenerational knowledge exchange.
Why Should I Apply?
Why Should I Apply?
The [Re]Generation Fellowship provides scholarship recipients opportunities to connect with peers and mentors. This experience is for those looking to be part of a guided cohort of land stewards and participating in activities including, pre-conference meetings, group discussions, and meals.
Hear from past [Re]Generation Fellows about their experience:
“It was refreshing to see how civil discourse is embedded within the agri-food system. Instead of working toward feeding the world, we’re cultivating a world that feeds itself.”
“I really loved all of the sessions. I learned about a lot of resources and made a lot of connections that have benefitted me in my work life.”
“The [Fellowship] discussions were great. They allowed me to ask more questions and understand and digest the talks more thoroughly.”
“I found the sense of community and the recognition of the scope of the regenerative ag movement to be one of the most valuable elements of the conference. As a rural environmental farmer, being constantly bombarded with worldly woes, it is refreshing and necessary to be re inspired from time to time.”
“So cool and great to have been able to form such a supportive and close community with the fellows this year. It was such a special time and I hope to see many more years of fellows get to experience the REGENERATE conference through this program!”
How to Apply
The [Re]Generation Fellowship will be awarding full scholarships (covering conference registration fee, travel, and lodging expenses) to ranchers, farmers, and land stewards who are interested in attending the REGENERATE Conference.
Applicants will be evaluated on a number of attributes, including whether ranching, farming, or land stewardship is an applicant’s primary occupation. In addition, reviewers consider applicants’ land stewardship journeys to this point.
Who can apply?
The fellowship targets beginning ranchers, farmers and land stewards. You are also welcome to apply if you are a community leader or seasoned land steward who is interested in participating in intergenerational knowledge exchange or a student pursuing a degree in agriculture, land stewardship, or a related field. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age.
How can I submit an application?
We know responding in written form to a series of essay questions is not for everyone, nor does it mean you are any more or less qualified to be a stellar land steward. We are open to accepting your application in a number of ways:
- Complete the online application below – you can respond to essay questions briefly or in bulleted form.
-or- - If you don’t feel comfortable filling out the online application, please write to fellows@regenerateconference.com to schedule a time to talk over the phone.
What if I don’t receive an award or I’m looking for a reduced conference registration rate?
If you don’t receive an award through the [Re]Generation Fellowship, we will offer you a reduced beginning agrarian, land steward, and student rate to our conference. We also offer the reduced rate to those who are seeking a non-competitive route or one that is less involved. If you demonstrate you need the discount, we’ll give it to you; you won’t be evaluated against anyone else.
