Bill overview
The AANAPISI Opportunity Act creates two grant programs to support Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving agricultural institutions (AANAPISIs). One program provides competitive grants for integrated agricultural research, education, and extension projects, requiring a 50% matching contribution from the recipient, which can be waived under certain circumstances. The second program offers scholarships to students pursuing careers in agriculture at these institutions, contingent upon the institution having a competitive scholarship awards process. The bill also mandates a report to Congress detailing the distribution of funds and scholarship awards.
