—Jack Thomas Ph.D., President of Central State University
WILBERFORCE, OH – Thanks to the USDA-NIFA, Central State University, Ohio’s only 1890 Land-Grant Institution, is able to offer scholarships for students who choose to major in STEM and agriculture related fields at Central State University. Funds for the scholarship came from the $100 million awarded to the nineteen 1890 Land-Grant Universities in the United States as a result of the Build Back Better Act.
The CESTA/USDA 1890 David Scott Scholarship, supports recruitment and retention, student engagement, mentoring, and training for undergraduate students at Central State who major in an Ag/STEM related field in the College of Engineering, Science, Technology, and Agriculture (CESTA).
The scholarship was recently renamed in honor of US Congressman David Scott, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, who successfully spearheaded legislation in the Build Back Better Act to provide permanent funding for student scholarships at the nineteen 1890 Land-Grant HBCUs.
The four-year scholarship awards eligible students up to a full ride and includes tuition, books, and room and board. Dean’s list and Merit scholarships are also available. High school seniors and college transfer students (including community college graduates) are eligible to submit an application for the award. Both high school and transfer students must have a GPA of at least 3.0.
