To provide additional funding for scholarships for students at 1890 institutions, and for other purposes.

This bill provides specified funds to the 1890 Scholarships Program for FY2025 and each succeeding year for student scholarships. This National Institute of Food and Agriculture program provides grants to 1890 Institutions (i.e., historically Black colleges and universities that belong to the U.S. land-grant university system) for students who intend to pursue a career in the food and agricultural sciences. The bill also permanently reauthorizes the 1890 Scholarships Program. Further, the bill specifies that student scholarships include scholarships for programs leading to a bachelor or graduate degree.
