Bill overview
This bill aims to increase funding for scholarships specifically for students attending 1890 institutions – historically Black colleges and universities within the U.S. land-grant university system – who are pursuing degrees in food and agricultural sciences. It permanently reauthorizes the 1890 Scholarships Program and clarifies that scholarships can cover both undergraduate and graduate programs. The bill directs funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation to support these scholarships, with a specific allocation for fiscal year 2025 and subsequent years. It also adjusts the funding structure to ensure consistent and ongoing support for the program.
