The College of Agriculture is lucky to have a dedicated community of alumni and friends who are committed to supporting future agriculturalists; more than $850,000 was awarded to College of Agriculture students for the 2024-2025 academic year! The college offers more than 160 unique scholarships.
Donors recognize the robust student experience available in the College of Agriculture and choose to support students at different points in their academic careers. Because of this, we encourage students to apply for COA Scholarships each year. Scholarship opportunities are available to incoming students, current students and students currently attending Veterinary School.
