The federal Project Grant award of $505,263.16 was provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Scholarships for Students at 1890 Institutions Program (CFDA 10.524). The grant supports undergraduate scholarships, academic counseling, experiential learning, and career development services for students at Lincoln University, a historically Black land-grant institution located in Jefferson City, Missouri. The scholarship program aims to increase the diversity and technical competency of the agricultural workforce by recruiting, retaining, and graduating students from underrepresented populations, particularly African Americans and other minorities. The grant award will be used to deliver these educational and support services over the performance period of July 15, 2024 to July 14, 2028.
