Within those degree programs, students can select from 11 concentrations, inclusive of Agriculture Business and Economics; Textile, Apparel and Merchandising Management; Dietetics and Nutrition; Plant and Soil Science; Pre-Veterinary Medicine and Environmental Science.

For more information about eligibility requirements, a complete list of concentrations or to apply, visit www.vsu.edu/agriculture/1890-scholarship-program.php.

The number of scholarships is limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until exhausted.
