After facing public backlash, the United States Department of Agriculture has decided to reopen the USDA 1890s National Scholars Program, a scholarship initiative designed to support young individuals at historically Black colleges and universities pursuing careers in agriculture, food safety, and environmental science.
The program's application period has been extended until March 15th, with the USDA encouraging interested candidates to submit their applications. Additionally, the department has announced upcoming webinars to provide further information to potential applicants.
