The grant will provide approximately 45 full scholarships of up to $8,000 per year and 35 partial scholarships of up to $4,000 per year. The targeted academic departments are agricultural sciences, family and consumer sciences, and urban forestry and natural resources. The project period runs from Jul 15, 2024 to Jul 14, 2028.
