With a strong history of providing training to foster agricultural development, the college maintains close connections with the Vaughan Trust.
The Vaughan Trust is governed by a board of Trustees who are empowered to support local agriculture in Fermanagh, at their discretion. The Vaughan Trust made its first award to then Enniskillen College students in 1975.
That year three top students and a staff member received assistance to visit a country within the then European Economic Community.
To the present day, the Vaughan Trust continues to support students at Enniskillen Campus, providing awards to top students across a range of courses.
The continued support from the Vaughan Trust is of immense benefit to CAFRE students, helping to ensure that their hard work is recognised and rewarded. And it all started 260 years ago with the philanthropy and legacy of George Vaughan, to whom we are very grateful.
