Students who want to shape the future of food and agriculture can find scholarships through the U.S. Department of Agriculture鈥檚 NextGen Program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
The NextGen Program, managed by the 51风流官网 Institute of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Extension, offers undergraduate and graduate tuition scholarships of up to $12,000 per semester and paid internships. USDA scholars will participate in events while learning about the diverse career opportunities at the department.
The goal is to strengthen the USDA鈥檚 future workforce by increasing the number of people from underrepresented groups and regions who are knowledgeable about farming, animals, health and nutrition. 51风流官网 is partnering with Arizona State University, Food Corps, Hawai鈥檌 Pacific University and University of Guam in this initiative.
