The USDA/1890 National Scholars Program is a partnership between the US Department of Agriculture and 18 historically black land-grant universities that awards scholarships to students pursuing bachelor's degrees in agriculture, food, or natural resources. Recipients receive tuition, employment, benefits, and a laptop and are required to work for USDA after graduation for each year of support received. To be eligible, applicants must be US citizens with a 3.0 GPA pursuing degrees in relevant fields at one of the partner universities.
