Have a question about what this bill does? Ask in plain English; the answer is drawn from the bill's actual text and official record, and it'll tell you when something isn't in the text rather than guess.
This bill provides specified funds to the 1890 Scholarships Program for FY2025 and each succeeding year for student scholarships. This National Institute of Food and Agriculture program provides grants to 1890 Institutions (i.e., historically Black colleges and universities that belong to the U.S. land-grant university system) for students who intend to pursue a career in the food and agricultural sciences.
The bill also permanently reauthorizes the 1890 Scholarships Program.
Further, the bill specifies that student scholarships include scholarships for programs leading to a bachelor or graduate degree.
Referred to the Subcommittee on Conservation, Research, and Biotechnology.
