项目摘要

The goals of this project are (a) to provide 60 scholarships for students with financial need and academic talent who declare majors in Agricultural Science programs and (b) to increase the number of students who successfully complete a 2-year course of study in agriculture and transfer as an Agricultural Science major to a 4-year university. Intellectual Merit: Multiple recruitment approaches are being implemented, including print and digital media and student and parent presentations. Specific outreach efforts are made to traditionally underrepresented students and students pursuing a career in Agriculture Education. Scholarships are awarded through a competitive process based on financial need, GPA, essay, interview, and recommendation. Recipients receive support services through cohort-based activities such as faculty mentoring, advising, leadership training, social activities, professional development opportunities, and an intensive Agriculture Summer Institute. Broader Impacts: The program is preparing highly-educated future Agricultural Science professionals such as agriculture economists, farm owners and engineers, technicians, and future teachers. Students receive training to become mentors for future cohorts, creating a network of peers and increasing further collaborative opportunities. The programmatic structure of this program serves as a model for other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) based courses of study throughout the college, as well as in other institutions.

该项目的目标是：（a）为申报农业科学专业的有经济需要和学术才能的学生提供60份奖学金;（B）增加成功完成两年制农业课程并作为农业科学专业转入四年制大学的学生人数。智力优势：正在实施多种招聘方法，包括印刷和数字媒体以及学生和家长介绍。对传统上代表性不足的学生和从事农业教育职业的学生进行了具体的外联工作。奖学金是通过基于经济需要，GPA，论文，面试和推荐的竞争过程授予的。受助人通过以小组为基础的活动，如教师辅导，咨询，领导力培训，社会活动，专业发展机会和密集的农业暑期研究所获得支持服务。更广泛的影响：该计划是准备受过高等教育的未来农业科学专业人士，如农业经济学家，农场主和工程师，技术人员和未来的教师。学生接受培训，成为未来同龄人的导师，创建一个同龄人网络，并增加进一步的合作机会。该计划的程序结构作为整个学院以及其他机构的其他科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）为基础的学习课程的典范。
