Summary of Collection: The USDA/1890 National Scholars Program is
an annual recruiting effort by the USDA/1890 National Program Office

who are rising sophomores or juniors, into pursuing disciplines in
agriculture, natural resources, and related sciences at any of the 1890
Land-Grant Universities. The USDA/1890 National Scholars Program offers

related majors, at one of the eighteen Historically Black Land-Grant
Universities. Each applicant is required to submit a hard copy of the

Need and Use of the Information: The information to be collected
from the application includes the applicant name, address, educational
background (grade point average, test scores), name of universities
