This $505,263.16 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Scholarships for Students at 1890 Institutions Program (CFDA 10.524) will enable Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), a historically Black 1890 land-grant university, to provide undergraduate scholarships, academic counseling, experiential learning, and career development services. The goal is to recruit, retain, and graduate underrepresented minority students, particularly African Americans, in critical agricultural and scientific disciplines to help address the projected shortage of human capital in these fields. The award will support PVAMU's efforts to serve as a magnet to draw underserved and underrepresented populations into food, agricultural, and related sciences, and prepare them for successful careers. The grant period runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028.
