Higher Education Multicultural Scholars Program
Deadline: 6/29/2020
Amount: $20,000–$$200,000
Description:
The purpose of this program is to provide scholarships to support the recruiting, engaging, retaining, mentoring, and training of committed multicultural scholars, resulting in either baccalaureate degrees within the food, agriculture, natural resources, and human (FANH) science disciplines or Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degrees. Awards are intended to encourage outstanding students from groups that are historically under-represented and underserved to pursue and complete baccalaureate degrees in FANH sciences, or achieve D.V.M.s, that would lead to a diverse and highly skilled workforce. Under-represented/underserved groups are those whose representation among FANH professionals is disproportionately less than their proportion in the general population.
