Advancing Agricultural Science Opportunities for Native Americans Scholarship
The AISES Advancing Agricultural Science Opportunities for Native Americans (AASONA) is for graduate or undergraduate students interested in or pursuing agriculture-related STEM degrees, with an eventual career in agriculture and/or ranching. Students receiving this scholarship must agree to become a part of a cohort of other Native students in the same field. Travel to the AISES National Conference and AISES Leadership Summit is required and travel scholarships are available for cohort members. Also included, is a mentorship with current Native farmers and ranchers with meetings both virtual and in person at the conferences. Participation in the mentorship opportunities is required for all scholarship recipients. Students in this program are eligible to apply for research awards to fund research related to farming, ranching, and related science.
Students must be full-time undergraduate or graduate students at an accredited two-year or four-year college/university.
Assistantships and Fellowships in the field of Agricultural Economics
Many forms of financial support are available to graduate students in the field of Agricultural Economics, lets have a look at them:
Department Assistantships: All applicants enrolled in the graduate program are automatically considered for department assistantships on a competitive basis. There's no need to go for any additional application.
Funding Decisions: Funding decisions for the fall semester are made in the previous March. This means that financial support decisions are made well in advance of the academic term.
H.B. Price Graduate Fellowship: The department offers the H.B. Price Graduate Fellowship in Regional Economics which is available to admitted Agricultural Economics graduate students. To be eligible for this fellowship, you must have been admitted to the program with an assistantship offer.
National Science Foundation Grant: The UK Center for Applied Energy Research has received grant funding from the National Science Foundation to support student innovators in the fields of Kentucky food, energy, and water systems. This grant funding likely provides opportunities for students to engage in research or projects related to these areas.
