House Agriculture Committee Chairman and Georgia Congressman David Scott has introduced legislation to make scholarships for 1890s Land Grant Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Leaders from the 19 Land Grant HBCUs laid out to Congress how a fresh infusion of funding provided by Congress will help educate and train the next generation of agriculture workers. Scott said the testimony will help members of the committee work to make the $80 million scholarship program permanent.
“We are moving to make this scholarship program permanent and in order to do that we want to make sure we have the evidence to present that,” Scott said in a release. “I want to be able to get on the record, all of what this scholarship program means to each of you.”
