The Southern University Ag Center is pleased to learn that the USDA 1890 Scholars Program has been reinstated and the continued investment in these student scholars as they matriculate through college and into various employment opportunities within the USDA has been reestablished. We are grateful to the USDA for working with the nation’s 19 Historically Black Universities to ensure that this vital program remains a staple in the advancement of the field of Agriculture.
