This $505,263.16 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Scholarships for Students at 1890 Institutions Program (CFDA 10.524) will provide one-year financial support (tuition, fees, room and board, books) for 20 scholars at West Virginia State University (WVSU) pursuing baccalaureate programs in the food and agricultural sciences. The goal of the 1890 Scholarships Program is to increase the number of graduates with technical and technological skills for entry-level positions in agriculture and related fields. The selected WVSU scholars must maintain a 3.0 GPA, complete 30 credit hours annually, participate in experiential learning activities and summer internships, perform community service activities, and attend monthly professional development meetings. The program is designed to ensure scholars are career-ready and can positively impact the agricultural industry upon graduation. WVSU Research and Development Corporation, as the awardee, will administer the scholarship program and monitor scholar progress through academic reporting, experiential learning, and community service projects.
