The 1890 Scholarships Program at UAPB is designed to support recruitment, engagement, retention, mentoring,  training and graduation of undergraduate students at the 1890 land-grant institutions, resulting in baccalaureate degrees in the food and agricultural sciences and related fields. The scholarships are intended to encourage outstanding students at 1890 institutions to pursue and complete baccalaureate degrees in the food and agricultural sciences and related fields that would lead to a highly skilled food and agricultural systems workforce. Scholarships awarded are for first-time entering freshman students to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff who have not completed a bachelor’s degree program. Additional scholarship funding is for students transferring from a junior college with an associate degree.
