Tennessee State University will use a $521,052 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture to support its 1890 Scholars Program. Over four years, the university will provide academic scholarships and high-impact support services to recruit, retain, mentor, and graduate students pursuing food, agriculture, and natural resource sciences degrees. In addition to financial assistance, scholars will participate in career preparation workshops, intensive advising, mentoring relationships, and undergraduate research experiences to help complete their baccalaureate degrees. This funding supports the goals of the USDA's Scholarships for Students at 1890 Institutions program, which aims to award scholarships at each of the historically black land-grant colleges and universities to develop scientific and professional talent in agriculture.
